I have just posted my 39th newsletter, "Obsessing On My Oral Compulsions",
on my www.gastricbypasscoach.com <http://www.gastricbypasscoach.com/>
website. All of my prior newsletters are archived there as well.



My mouth craves constant action, stimulation, and movement. I derive great
joy and satisfaction from the kinetic energy inherent in chewing, sucking or
otherwise mouthing things and substances. My oral fixation began before the
reach of my memory, and has continued, unabated, in the fifteen months since
my Weight Loss Surgery.



I haven't let my oral compulsions interfere with my post-op eating plan.
However, I still find myself struggling to understand the origins of my oral
cravings, and to find healthy alternatives and replacement behaviors - or at
least minimally harmful things and substances to keep my mouth satiated and
out of trouble.



If you're interested in this topic, share this obsession, or want to check
out any of my prior newsletters, I hope you'll check out this article. I've
also just added a WLS Glossary, WLS FAQs, and other information that you may
find helpful and interesting. Thanks.
