My alcoholism took a new turn after the surgery. As for pain meds, I never thought about the malabsorption issue being a problem. Could explain why the pain meds that I am allowed to take are not working.

Xanax is not appropriate to take if you have an addiction issue. Buspar is better for people like us.

I am fortunate that my psychiatrist and I have worked together for almost 20 years, prior to my surgery and now.

Good luck.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Topic: RE: Is anyone elso going through this?

You are not crazy. You are basically dealing with life without food, a drug to some people, like me. I went through a period of mourning when I gave up my best friend, the binges. It sucked, but I also had been taught self-soothing, coping skills, when I went through eating disorder treatment. You can learn these in therapy, where you can also talk about the feelings that are now coming up, because you are not numbing out on food. I have been in therapy for over 20 years, and keep learning coping skills and how not to self-sabotage my recovery.

Start by journaling your feelings each evening, and also doing deep breathing exercises. These are my lifesavers.

Hugs,
Trish

I had the privilege of speaking at my home group the night I picked up my 90 day chip. God is so good.

Thanks,

Topic: Is anyone elso going through this?

I have been feeling like I have been going crazy this past month! I have often times thought about checking myself into a mental hospital! Has anyone ever heard of ............

POST OPPERATIVE DEPRESSION, or POST SURGICAL DEPRESSION?

I found out about it doing a search about the causes of depression. Then I Googled it. I read that it can occur immediately after surgery as well as up to months later. I am about 3 months post-op. Lately, I have been having severe anxiety attacks, severe depression, crying spells, even times throwing tantrums! Has anyone else heard about this? Has anyone else gone through it? Is there anyway out of it without being put on antidepressants? I was on those in the past and had trouble tolerating them. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Do you see the glass as half empty or half full? I say, what difference does it make--I paid for a full glass,so either way I am getting jipped!!!

If you have a drinking problem, my experience is that it will only get worse. If you need a rehab, they can help tremendously. I finally got it in rehab. I realized what was stopping me. You don't have to drink excessively if you really want to stop.

SONG OF THE WEEK..

PURPLE RAIN BY PRINCE

Purple Rain
I never meant 2 cause u any sorrow
I never meant 2 cause u any pain
I only wanted 2 one time see u laughing
I only wanted 2 see u laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

I only wanted 2 see u bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal u from another
It's such a shame our friendship had 2 end

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

I only wanted 2 see u underneath the purple rain

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out 4 something new
That means u 2
U say u want a leader
But u can't seem 2 make up your mind
I think u better close it
And let me guide u 2 the purple rain

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon raise your hand

Purple rain Purple rain

I only want 2 see u, only want 2 see u
In the purple rain
