I've lost around 70 lbs in 6 months, docs, fam and friends are happy. The most important thing is I'm not happy. I still feel fat, which I hate that word. I drink to be happy,calm, just me. I use to call myself an alcoholic, not drink like I use to. I feel sas and depressed like this surgery was and wasn't the best. I never knew I was "fat" I thought it would make me happy

Happy nite

Don't be so hard on yourself. You should feel proud of your accomplishment in losing 70 pounds in only 6 months. That's fantastic. Your message is a little hard to understand towards the end, but hang in there. Remember, life is 10% what happens to us & 90% how we react. Stay positive my friend!

You should be talking to a professional to work out your issues. Good luck.

Hang in there. This is a journey of mind, body and soul. I agree that you should talk to someone. Please hang tough and keep posting. Your community is here for you as we all are on this journey of weight loss.

KJcasegreg,

If your stats are correct, you have succeeded TREMENDOUSLY! I can't even imagine what it took to get you there.

DO NOT get down on yourself. You are remarkable to have come this far.

And I do agree that you should talk to a professional. You need to let out your feelings in a safe way, and not turn to alcohol.

Remember, not only are they empty calories, but drinks will adversely affect your kidneys and liver, which post-surgery are already working OT.

Don't sabotage your success.

I wish you luck, friend....and keep chatting with us. We are here for you!!!
