Trying to fight "Head Hunger"

[Memere-9 0]

Memere.. i was banded last tuesday, the 30th. True on the surgery making me depressed. Not only did I have lap band surgery, but 4 weeks before that I had my gallbladder removed. I am on an anti depressant, so it is odd to be feeling this way....

Angela.... what you say is encouraging and discouraging both.... Yay that it eventually did work... but OMG.. 6 months??!! I want to be losing weight now.... *sigh*

I am not a very good wait...er.....

I have not been secretive about this, so everyone I know is watching me expectantly.... maybe i should have kept it to myself... hindsight is definitely 20/20

I have been on anti depressants for years and sometimes I still feel depressed. One of the reasons I think most of us are hear is due to mental health issues. I am seeing behavioral counselor and this has helped but I have a long way to go in finding out what is causing me to over eat.

so do you think depression causes us to overeat, or overeating causes us to be depressed....I personally think that eating is a way to "medicate"....

Oh well... my moment of depression shall pass. I am looking forward to hearing how your doctor appointment goes tomorrow.. I hope you get that "sweet spot" of restriction that everyone talks about...

Good luck!

I wish I knew the answer to your question. I could make a lot of money. I know for me it is some of both. Yes I took eat to medicate. I am trying to find out what pain I am trying to stop. I am trying to face the fact that the emotional pain will never stop and I need to learn not to eat to make me feel better. I have a few things that I am working on.
