Beer and snacking--- did it, but wrong choice

[healthymommy 1]

I am 2 years post. I have been eating and drinking horrible since the holidays. Drinking 8 to 10 beers twice weekly was a normal thing for me. Of course when you drink you get hungry, so snacking was normal too. I know what I have been doing was no the right choice. Now, I gained 10lbs. I am very upset and plan to get back on tract.

In the last week I started having a burning feeling under my ribs and I burp more then I ever have before. Big burps! I called my dr today and was honest about drinking. He said that I have caused inflammation in my stomach lining and need to start taking Prilosec once a day.

Has anyone been in my position? I need help I know. Did I stretch my tummy? I hope not. Any positive input would be great?

I am sure being years out it is easy to just try and have a normal life. 8 to 10 beers at once sounds like a lot to me regardless of surgery. Glad you have decided to get back on track which I am sure will get those 10 pounds off soon enough. Take care of yourself and embrace the opportunity to treat yourself kindly. Stick around here for a while, it is very encouraging. Wishing you the best in turning things around.
