Does Drinking Make Your Pouch Stretch?
Take it from me, slow down big time on the drinking. It's not worth it. I am 1 1/2 years out and have only lost 61 pounds because i started drinking to replace my food addiction. I'm so disgusted with myself. I should have nearly 3/4 of my weight off and instead I have 140 pounds still to go. I have recently quit drinking and started working out 3-4 times a week and maintaining a 1200 calorie diet to get my weight loss started again. I just hope it's not too late. Believe me, the disappointment you will have in yourself from not losing weight because of the alcohol intake is NOT worth it.
I don't know about the pouch. If you do not know why you are drinking, I strongly urge you to seek therapy to find out. It is not uncommon to switch addictions. For me, food was always my first addiction, and I drank as well. When I first quit drinking in 1989, I gained 100 pounds over a 10 year period. I lost some, but started drinking again. When I stopped drinking five years ago, I gained back that weight, plus more. Since my WLS, the urge to drink has returned at times, but I work an AA program to prevent a relapse.
I have heard this myself and found it to be true, especially with carbonated drinks. I quit drinking almost 2 years ago because I have a problem. I also quit drinking soda since having surgery. There are so many calories and sugar in drinks. It's really not worth it. There have been many studies relating our Surgeries to alcoholism. Our bodys are different now and we can't drink like we used to. I watched my best friend go through it and now we're in AA together. Good luck with everything,
