"Tie me up Tuesday" eh? I didn't know it was a requirement, but I am easy. (heads to "The drawer") ((Maniacal laughter ensues))
Have fun and don't worry about the booze, you seem a pretty strong person to me. I could be completely wrong lol... but your personality will sure as hell give you a lashing, and not the good kind either!

Topic: Gastric Bypass Revision
Hello to everyone,
About two years ago, I had my gastric bypass surgery done, and I have only lost about 15 lbs. I started out at 250lbs and my height is 5'9" My bmi was not off the charts, I was unable to lose the weight I wanted, and thats why I had the surgery. When I got back home, I was eating about half of what I used to., I'm eathing what I used to before my surgery, and I feel like I never had the surgery. My weight is 237 today, and I would like to be 180. Not once did I every come close to vomiting . I do have an eating disorder, and its at night time. Doing the day, I'm busy and I pretty much eat healthy, but after dinner, everything go to _ _ _ t. lol. The docotor is talking about a smaller sleeve.
What do I would to acheave after this revision, when i want to eat at night, I would just get sick. I'm laughing as I'm writing this, because, I want the majc pill. Can you please shed some light for me.
Thanks Dan

Topic: Looking for Counselor in Victoria Texas area
I'm looking for someone who provide counseling for compulsive (emotional) eating in the Victoria, Texas area. I spend my winters in that area and the SWL provider has suggested counseling for compulsive eating as part of my pre-op. If you know of anyone in that area, please let me know.
Topic: I've a confession..
Derick and I are going on a vacation in November for 2 weeks. We are going to an all inclusive resort in Jamaica, which I am absolutely ecstatic about. I've not been on a real vacation in years.. and never out of the Country.
It will be dreamy
I have a little apprehension tho because of the all inclusive part.. (free and abundant food and drinks). And trust me.. the apprehension is over the Premium drinks part.. *sigh*
.. Jamican Rum.. Gray Goose Vodkie.. pretty umbrellas with fruit topping the glass.
I have reminded myself why it is that I will not be partaking of any of these drinks. Because my first drink will be where I left off.. and that was not a pretty sight. Also I told myself that I want to have fun and do alot of activites on this vacation.. like snorkle, sail, scuba dive!! And I surely won't feel up to it after a binge feast. Also I told myself that I want to REMEMBER this vacation.. and if I recall my last drink left me in a blackout after two hours and passing out after 4 hours of drinking.
Sooo... I just wanted to put this out here. That I don't want to drink when I'm on vacation, but the thought is there.... Think I'll pack my book A Day At A Time and take it with me.
thanks for listening
and hope everyone has a wonderful "Tie Me Up Tuesday" !!
Edit to add: I've been sober since November 2006 (just realized vaca is my Soberversary Month) !!

Topic: RE: Bulimia plus Bipolar Disorder
Many people I know attend OA meetings online. You can even get an sponsor through the OA website that you can correspond with via email. That seems to really work for a lot of people. So maybe that is an option? I respect your bravery is facing these issues head-on and reaching out for help! I wish you the best!
Topic: ~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
09/16 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
We learn from others in The Program that the best way to deal with painful situations is to meet them head-on, to deal with them honestly and realistically, and to try to learn from them and use them as springboards for growth. Through The Program and our contact with a Higher Power, we can find with courage to use pain for triumphant growth. WILL I BELIEVE THAT WHATEVER PAIN I EXPERIENCE IS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR THE JOY OF BECOMING THE PERSON I WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE?
TODAY I PRAY
May my Higher Power give me the courage I need to stop running away from painful situations. The chemical was my escape hatch, the trap door I counted on to swallow me when life became too monstrous or villainour to bear. Now that I have locked that door, may I face pain and learn from it.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
My compulsion: a trap-door -- and a trap.

Hey Metamorph ;)
It is funny to step back & look at things as objectively as possible. Sometimes I see fault in my behavior, but most often I see things in a positive light.
I guess I am my own worst critic! Have you ever noticed seeing someone elses life helps put your own into perspective? For me, I tend toward "tunnel vision" when I start researching any subject - ha ha - so I seek out all sorts of media to get my informational "fix" ;)
Life is good. Glad you are able to finally get on with your journey -- and I can relate to the snappiness! I have actually wondered if it was physical or just emotional reactions to removing our former "drug of choice" - FOOD. I know when I am hungry, I can be absolutely brutal to people. It is the hardest addiction to overcome, mainly because you need food to live -- whereas cigarrettes/alcohol - et al, a body can survive without. Part of me questions if it is mostly or all addiction.
My body deffinitely processes differently from others, as I have others to compare with, which is why I am choosing RNY over Sleve or Banding. I wish you MUCH success! Thanks for writing back ;)
