I enjoy a glass of wine almost daily, from about the year mark. I don't do it as a replacement for eating, just because I like it. I actually drink LESS than before surgery because back then I drank [liquor] in excess nightly to escape the depression. I can actually say that my depression is GONE for the first time in, oh, 20 years or so. I'm not worried about the alcohol except for the fact that it has probably slowed my weight loss down a bit. And the mellow feeling I get while drinking does tend to give me the munchies. I'm very, very happy with the moderation in all things I have in my life now, so honestly, if I never lost another pound but continued to enjoy food and wine like I do now, I'm OK with that. Of course, I don't want to gain, either, so that'd probably be the first to go if I was. I'm also sure that I'm at a risk for transfer of addictions more so because I was bulimic, but that's why I started therapy before surgery and have kept up with it. There have been recent stresses in my life that sometimes make me long for the days I could binge on FOOD, it's a battle I still work on daily. I don't know if I have found the perfect healthy replacement behavior for eating, but if anything, it's drinking WATER LOL. EeeVee, are you worried about this transfer of compulsive behavior for yourself?

Jus****ched it. Thanks for sharing.

Just wanted to share this video blog from a fellow OHer...made me a little teary eyed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvAHZ4uZ79I Elisa

Thanks Marie! Elisa
