Your response should have been "No, I just like having my guts rearranged for fun!" LOL! What are people thinking?

I wish I was able to offer some words of wisdom but find myself in the same boat as you. Now that I'm able to eat more I'm really going to have to watch it. I was able to eat anything I wanted but my stomach would not let me have much. Now I surprise myself with how much I can eat and do eat. Those calories can and will sneak up on you. And we all know that exercise is key to keeping it off.
I actually was just talking about alcohol to a friend today. I was wanting to try some wine or beer to see if it would make me sick - at home to be safe. I've never been a very big drinker but would like to have a drink with friends occassionally.
I think you are right to be a little worried about how much you are drinking. You certainly don't want to trade one addiction for another. The fact that you are aware that there is a potential problem and looking for help is a good sign.

Do you plan on keeping it off? - no pressure there.
Great job with your weightloss. It sure is nice not to be 340 pounds in the 90 something degree heat. I love it!

Betsy~ Congratulations on your weight loss and your health successes. I think that's one of the most wonderful aspects of this surgery is the ability to go off of meds. Keep up the wonderful work!
Hugs,

Hi everyone,
Today is my first surgiversary and it's been an awesome year. I went to the MD today and she took me off diabetes meds, 1/2'd the blood pressure med, and was SOOOOOOOOOO proud of me!! My hemoglobin A1C is 6.2, my cholesterol is 118, and EVERYTHING IS GREAT!!DANCE: What a wonderful present I gave myself last year! 105 pounds down and only 50ish more to go to be "normal". Life is good!! I will be 65 years old next Wednesday and feel younger than I did at 55. YAY ME!!!
I am not much of a contributor to this site, but I read your posts almost every day and you have all inspired me with your progresses. Thank you everyone!!!

Alesia,
Thanks for the encouragement. Makes me feel good to know that I am not alone. I keep telling myself that yes I have slipped in quite a few places, but I'm still great at getting in all my water everyday, and I take all my vitamins and such every single morning. I do work in a Hospital, so everday I take the stairs as oppsed to the elevators at least once a day, plus the walk to and from my office to the parking lot, and this is not a short walk, so I know that I am getting some exercise, and like you, yes i do weigh everyday. I know that I'm not supposed to, but that's one habit I can't break. I guess I'm afraid if I don't, that the scale will eventually start going up. However, I am bound and determined to get back on track, especially with the exercise. I think if I exercise more, then I will feel so guilty about slipping, ya know? And wow, you've went from 249 to 124!!!!!!!!!!omg! You go girl! You have accomplished so much, you should be so proud of yourself. I'm very proud of you!
