Depression post-op
Nov 21, 2010
Well, I am learning after 7 weeks post-op that when your entire life has been comforted by food that post-op you can find yourself lost, depressed, and confused with not knowing which way to turn. I mean I did not realize how much I planned
my day around the meals in a day or the sodas... I never realized food was my comfort, best friend, my soother for stress, my 24 hour obsession.All my activities I used to LOVE seemed to revolve around food:
Hanging w my son, hubby, friends and/or dog: always some kind of food
Movies: popcorn, soda, anything yummy
TV: soda, everything yummy
Dating: dinner, dessert, soda, wine, etc.
Dancing: soda, munchies, etc.
Vacations: FOOD
Driving: soda, etc.
You get my drift...Enough complaining... now what do I do? What does a Mom do to fill her time that doesn't envolve food, getting in trouble or feeling like a mat?
This is a very frustrating thing for me. I need to try to find new projects, jobs, activities that make me feel like the way I did when I ate... I have no ideas! I just hide...
