Hi Sue. Thanks for your comment. I think more and more wls friends are looking to alcohol as a comfort. I know I was. Just a bit hits a gastric bypass patient with a punch!! So in fact any amount of drink is not good. Straight into our blood streams. I’m not drinking anymore. Now if I can only give up my chocolate addiction. LOL.

This is nice to learn about someone else. I myself I dont drink. But within the last few months I have drank more than I ever have. I think it is from the pain I am having in my leg. I am five and half years since I had my RNY. I also only drink a couple of drinks before I am done.

Malia, thanks for commenting! It’s sugar for me, that gets me hooked. I do have to have some carbs in order to keep a balance, but I try to use good whole food carbs. It’s all a learning process about what works for you. It’s taken me a while but I am getting there. Be well.

When you described putting something in your body that gave a temporary high but made you feel bad later I instantly thought of bad food choices too. I’m in Recovery anyway so I stay away from alcohol period and I can totally understand what your saying. It’s such a slippery slope… One French fry leads to more and at least for me one glass of wine would lead to more than is good for me. Great post

The story about my son happened about 5 years ago. I thought it was funny. In fact I don’t drink coffee and I loved my glass of wine and my son knew it LOL. It is a story I will always remember and we certainly can see ourselves CLEARLY through the eyes of our Babes. I think the process of me deciding to stop all together has to do with getting back in touch with my WLS rules over the last year. I’m back to a 1 cup portion, exercise, protein first, etc. Throw a glass of wine in there and it makes you feel crappy! Might get e quick high at first but later feel like crap. I want to feel good and I can control that. I”m giving up that short term high for feeling good day and night. thanks for the comment Marlene, I do think my son is an inspiration in how I choose

My children as well have the bighearted effect on our lives. I have a ? If he would have never said it do I think you might still be having your wine.. I know that my kids really have an effect in me to word wise . I might not take heed right then but some of their comments have made me think. And helped me change the way I was to how I am now.
