Wanted to chime in too---I hope you're doing better. I had mine just a few days after yours (7/31) and was MISERABLE most of last week. Suddenly, today, I'm better. Still a bit sore, but I feel "normal" if that's a thing any more. I hope that has happened for you too.
A friend of mine had gastric bypass, and to replace the food she was craving she started drinking. She finally realized she had a problem and has been going to AA and such since, but really regrets that she ever started drinking. You really have to be careful you're not replacing vice for another.
