Get addicted to exercise. As an ex smoker my surgeon warned me I may be tempted to go back.. he was not kidding.. I gained like 80 lbs when I quit 14 years ago and I always said when the desire returned.. " not until you lose those 80 you gained"- well Im at 77 and think my brain is like '' hey u promised''. I had a sip of champagne at 4 months and didnt like how it 'hit' me so fast. Im gonna sty away from that.. think of the calories.. they are not worth it.
Topic: First Alcoholic Drink
I thought I would post about this. I had my first alcoholic drink since WLS. Actually I had two utltimate martinis and they were delicious! I was tipsy real fast but I was ok. I was so scared to take a drink! I know you're supposed to wait 6 months before introducing alcohol back into your diet, but I couldn't wait. After a couple of hours I was sober enough to drive home. I wasn't even tipsy anymore! It felt good to be able to have a ****tail and not be knocked off my feet! I did go home early from the party and limited my drink to only 2. I'm a lightweight anyway when it comes to drinking. I just hope that this does not become habit because I really enjoyed those ****tails! I've read where WLS patients start to pick up habits/addictions in place of the food they used to eat such as shopping, alcohol or smoking cigarettes. That's another thing, I've never been a smoker but I eye the cigarettes with every trip to Walgreens. I am not giving into that temptation though! I'm staying away from the cigarettes! Ya'll help me please! Give me some encouragement!!!
