has anyone found once they start to drink

Just wondering if I am the only  one that ........

when you have a drink, wine, beer, stronger stuff...you cant seem to stop until you either pass out or feel sick?

I'm not a doctor Sherri, but I can tell you that it sounds like transfer addiction.  You don't have food, so you choose alcohol.  Think about when you were eating uncontrollably.  You couldn't have just one cookie.  You ate the whole box.  Try to get yourself someone to talk to.  A trusted friend, your doctor or a therapist.  Or maybe even join a support group of some kind.  Get a hold of this before it gets out of hand.

Im just the opposite..I was a margarita maniac before surgery but now I cant even finish a full glass..

Probably a cross addiction.  One woman in a support group I attended last night, had RNY some 5 years ago. She lost a lot of wt. and stopped coming to support groups.  She had an issue with wine. She said she wasn't a "drinker" prior to surgery, having maybe 2 glasses of wine per year.  But she ended up an alcoholic, and regained a major portion of her wt.  I'd strongly urge you get help with your current issue, or your wt loss may be very disappointing.  DAVE

There was a brief period of time i was like that. I knew then, I possibly could have a problem so i stopped cold turkey for a month to get back on track. Please do research on addiction transfers because they are a reality and out there. I am pregnant now and haven't had one sip of alcohol since they told me I was pregnant. Prior to that i would enjoy a glass of wine here and there (beer makes  me sick- i don't drink any carbinated drinks) but I am very cautious because i have an addictive personality. If you are passing out and don't stop until you feel sick you are drinking too much and need to evaluate the situation. Just please be careful. Alcohol effects us differently. I love it so i have to be careful and aware of my alcohol intake.
