Will I Ever Be able to have a glass of wine with dinner again??

Most have said what my reply would be but I figured since im 10yrs post op. At my heaviest I was 475. Im a female that is 6'4 have have maintained my weight at 210. I just wanted to add on the drinking part not specifically for you (since you said you rarely drink) but for others how may come across this. I did not drink alcohol prior to surgery and didn't feel inclined to until I lost most of my weight which happened within the first yr. I slowly increased my intake of alcohol preferring that over meals. At the time of surgery and after I attended support group provided by the bypass facility and they never talked about the dangers of becoming addicted to alcohol once food was no longer avail. I dont regret having my surgery but I wish I could have been more aware and maybe sought more support in that area. I battled the drinking for 5 yrs and have been sober for 5. Knowing the warnings can be helpful in protecting and preparing the mind for the changes that will come.

Thank you so much for sharing- and congrats on 5 years sober! Best of luck to you!
