Addiction runs in the family and for me, I channeled my addictive personality to food. I was an incredibly emotional eater and had no self control. I have to say, almost four months out, I don't have the crazy food thoughts that I did before the surgery. Not only did I need the forced restriction with the sleeve, but I also believe the constant intake of Vitamins and nutrition have made me a more mentally sound person. I own my own business and would have violent emotional mood swings every other week. It seemed like I would go from happy to depressed within days, all the time. Since the sleeve, I have not felt this way at all and my emotions have been in check. We read it all the time in this forum, but it's true, the sleeve has totally changed my life for the better. Screw addiction and addictive behavior!
meangene got a reaction from senickisncis in When is it a food addiction, and when is it just overeating?
