They say you trade one addiction for another so what did everyone replace their food hobby/addiction with after surgery

So far mine is walking!........And I think what they say is it's a possibility and something to be careful about. You especially don't want to transfer the addiction to some other bad thing.....I think exercise or something like that is a good trade off! :-)...

Shopping, lol...my closet has become ridiculous.

Clothes shopping! I'm no longer bulging at the seams but my closet is!

@@samararousse - I don't think this is a given. Many people do change old negative habits for new positive ones. But not always.

I will take advantage of the relative anonymity of the web and just say initially, I was really into sex. It was fun and novel. Being much lighter and in much better shape in my 50's it was more abundant and not as strenuous.

Things have calmed down now. I am in committed relationship...oh heck sex is probably still my new favorite addiction, but at least it is with the right person.

I honestly don't know that I have picked up a new addiction at all. If I had to say anything it would be shopping and trying on new clothing.

Once you can buy your clothes anywhere this becomes fun!

This addiction trade isn't a guarantee.

I shop less post-op than pre-op so I can't say shopping. I used to buy clothes online almost every single day but I don't know because I can't buy things without trying them on.

I guess my only new habit that I am religious about is weighing my food.
