need advice....long
No advice. I just wanted to let you know that I care. Please get help. I don't want to see you hurt yourself. I have been there with both the bulimia and the drinking although it has been many years, over 30, since I have done either.
I go to AA and get a lot of support. OA helped me too with the bulimia. I hope you can go to a meeting.

Rebecca Sweetheart ! Please add us as friends since U keep Ur profile private !
Im an ex bulimic ....and now im worried because its very addictive and drinking post op is too ( im a little afraid i may be doing a bit too much of that my own darn self ...)
you know funny thing is pre-op I NEVER EVER darkened the neighborhood liquor store's door ... as a matter of fact the most wine i ever drank was on European vacations with my family ...
Im not necessarily saying its bad ( just for me) ... im really not into beating myself up ... and Im certainly not unmanageable with it but its something to keep a sharp and skeptical eye on thats all...

Rebecca Ann, I cannot access your blog but know that I care about you, and you are worthy of love and support. Transferred addictions are a real risk post WLS. If that is what is going on, finding a group like AA or OA is a good place to start. I also remember that you are in therapy. I hope you talk freely with your therapist. With our challenges, the truth really does set us free. Whatever is happening, we are here for you.

Rebecca Ann,
I can't see your blog either, so can you add me as a friend?
Counseling is a good thing. I've done it myself to help find better coping mechanisms at home and at work.
Thanks for reaching out. Feel free to send me a private message with a phone number and I'd be happy to talk to you on the phone.
