Topic: RE: 13 Weeks out finding myself drinking wine everyday

self love I think that is awesome that you have been sober for five years.I really want to stop too.The docs told me I was healthy but I dod have at least a bottle of wine a night.I has three glasses last night but the doc said I cant just stop totally or my body will go into shock and I can have a seizure or die.Were you given medicine or anything to calm the sideeffects of stop drinking?

how did you stop without having sideeffects the doctors say you should never stop on your own or you could have a seizure or die.

That would be me It helps me sleep and relax and I tried to not drink as much last night I had two and half verses a bottle and i'm nine years out of lapband surgery.I was a wine drinker before but i'm worse now nad since I gained back the 30 pounds from having two fills its even more depressing.I know nobody is oerfect and everyone has something they do too much of but something has to give.

Topic: Back from the dead💀

 its been years since my surgery and years since I've checked in. This website has been so helpful the months before and the months after my precedure. 

 I wish I had known of this forum at that time. Well I've found it now and it seems the "crew" of regulars don't check in as much anymore I'm reading. 

Well better late than never. I'll be checking in. My weights been fluctuating and whenever I put my foot down (some call it will power) the weight comes off pretty quick. 

Im sure I'll find this forum more relatable.

Topic: RE: Regaining after 7 years post op gastric bypass: Support and advice needed

I am 8 years post op and I know the feeling of being frustrated because Of weight gain. I basically gained most of my weight back and now hoping to have a revision. I am making efforts to lose the weight on my own but its hard. I started gaining the weight maybe 2.5 years ago after I had my daughter and since then have keep gaining. You must find the will power to get back on the right track and keep God by your side dear.

Topic: Been A Long Time!

Good morning/afternoon/evening!

It has been an extremly long time since I last been on BAF which was probably back in 2008 when I got married. I have been reading some of the old posts about the "Crew" that have been here during that time are no longer on this site. There have been comments that many members have moved to FB BAF. I could not find it anywhere on FB as it is a closed group.  If anyone knows about this group on FB, can someone please inform me? My name on FB is Tonya Cuffee-Olive.  Thank you so kindly & God Bless.
