Guest guest Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Hi everyone, My name is Melinda. I had my gastric bypass lap on 3-28-2002. I'm a slow weight loser....just under 100 lbs. But I know why I'm slow. I've one of those that replaced food with alcohol. Wine...my alchohol of choice. Never had an interest in it before. Please don't flame me. I'm in AA and am working on it. I'm just scared. Scared for my liver. I'm out of control, yet still don't regret having the surgery. I'm healther in an ironic point of view. I get attention like I've never had it before even at 276 lbs. My starting weight was 369. I need some support. I know there are people out there that have turned to alcohol. I need to hear from those people and hear how they have coped and overcome. I don't want to drink, but feel right now it is the only way to cope. I'm in AA, in counseling...seeing a psychiatrist..on meds...what more can be done? This is a recent awakening for me..but I realize I am maintaining my weight now with wine. Lots of calories. I could care less if I eat one bit at this point, but do try to eat meat and protein whenever I can....I'm sure it is not enough. Please help!!!
