Dear Krystal7K, I am sorry to read about your struggle. I am retired from work in the field of domestic violence and higher education. i spent my life advocating for women. Alcoholism is, yes a disease but the drinker has to want help. You are the mother of 7 who is also recovering from major surgery and need support and love. You also, deserve to live in peace with your children. Your children maybe pre-disposed to alcoholism by genetics and living in a home with an alcoholic, doesn't help. There is help if you want to move on with your life. One place to consider is the domestic violence hotline. You may not be being physically abused, but emotional abuse can also be deadly. If you need financial assistance, each state has some type of help. There maybe private programs that can help with housing and developing a safety plan to leave. I raised 6 children on my own, got a higher education, had a wonderful career and all my children had the opportunity to attend college. I'm just a woman who God blessed to step out on faith, he did the rest and it's history. God Bless you, you deserve better and you can do it.

Blessings to you Mommytonya..

Sparkle, so glad you are feeling better and they found out the problem. Take good care of yourself and continue to improve.

Glad your feeling better Kate. Keep listening to your body, it knows what it needs & wants.

Happy to hear your doing well Dawnolson. I've read so people have no issues & others do. I'm trying to stay positive and follow the program. Today I ate, it stayed with me & I'm happy about that.

My surgery was May 13th SW-258 1st weigh in- 228. GW- 150-160. Problem is, I am not able to keep much down. Nausea all the time, dumping & vomiting when I take my vitamins. Can NOT drink any of the protein shakes, tried so many I could open a store. I can drink water. Is anyone else having or had this issue? DR. is going to take a look on July 9th. My energy is very low. BUT TODAY I have not had to take anything for nausea & I had food. 1oz of chicken burger with cheese, 1 fork full of string beans. No vitamins other than B-12 &D3. I started drinking Moringa tea & wow I even cleaned the house. Please help. Thanks

Kudos Debbie on the success & progress !

Wow! I'm so excited. My family is from Hattiesburg & I lived & worked on the coast(OS)for 12 years. Best wishes to u both.

Had my surgery May 13, 2013. HW- 258 CW- 228.5 GW- 150-160. Feeling good just need some energy. How are all you other May Losers?

Go Ms. Nono! Nice job.

A stomach virus has been going around in my family & I got it ! hope that's not what u have.

I was the 13 of May also. Not doing real well. Can't keep much down. Going to Dr. on Tues. I've tired to b as careful as I can. I can't walk to much no energy & have to b close to the potty. Anyone had problems like this?

I hope this is how to respond ! Thanks for asking, I am keeping things down & feel a lot better. However, I can't stop thinking about food& started eating food. Last night I ate everything I could find. I didn't get sick but realized I was back to my old ways. Today, I am trying to get back on task. I clearly need to establish some new routines. I'm happy to have the support of this site. I would appreciate any tips.

I'm new 2. Don't think I know how to post correctly. Had my surgery, May 13, 2013 I also had a hernia repair. Can't keep too much down, got the big mean D. Little energy. Mash potatoes, Protein powder mixed in creamed with vegetable broth. So, good & a Popsicle. Nice weigh lose! I started @258. I also have Lupus, Fibro Arthritis; looking forward to the weight loss.
