Functioning alcoholic ... an update



Recommended Posts

Five weeks and two days since my last drink and back at the gym three days a week.

I went to the rehab support group, which was rubbish. I have decided to do private counselling, one on one.

Fifteen pounds down.... That’s 15!!!!!!!

Good for you. Taking care of yourself is what this journey is all about. Good for you getting a counselor. I wish you the best of luck and encourage you to continue one day at a time- like all of us must- whether the addiction is food or booze- or both. Good luck!

I will hit my two year mark in a month and can say sobriety is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself to date. Next is WLS on Thursday. With sobriety there will be good days and bad but always remember that booze never makes anything better in the end. Praying for you! If you ever need support, please reach out.

Every single day is a struggle but even after such a short time I feel so much better. Thank you x

Kate you are my hero. Congratulations!!

Before committing to this surgery, I was a daily drinker. A relaxing cocktail after work was just part of my routine. I had to come to terms with letting go of that lifestyle. I am feeling much better for it, not to mention a little richer:)

Also, my mother is a recovering alcoholic 29 years sober.

Keep putting you first, one day at a time!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
