Hi Wonder,
I had a gastric bypass 18 months ago and I've lost 133lb, yay! I have my life back!
But, my drinking has changed, I now blackout nearly every time I drink unless I'm really careful, our bodies process the alcohol totally different from before.
I've had a problem with drinking to excess since I was 14 but never with this much blackout. I've tried abstinence and I did 7 weeks but it was like walking a tightrope in my mind. I'm now drinking again and just biding time until I'm talking to my doctor about trying a new medication in the new year. The good news is I'm determined to beat this, I keep researching and keep talking to people. Are u in the uk? Have you tried addaction? They have been great for me.
Good luck, keep posting, it's great to have somewhere we can be totally honest with ourselves and others xxx
