Topic: RE: 3 months out today!
Congrats Monica!!!!!
You are doing great. Your going to be such a hottie...WATCH OUT!
I don't know what's up with the butt. I use to have quite a bubble butt. Of course it was not in style then and now its the fad and mine is disappearing!
I don't know if it'S the fat I still have around my bum and hips or I'm just loosing the butt muscle???
Topic: 3 months out today!
Three months ago today at this very moment, I think I was being wheeled out of surgery. I don't remember a whole lot from that day. It seems so long ago.
In the past three months I have lost about 45 pounds.
Today I'm wearing a size 20 skirt from the bag of hand-me-downs I got from a friend. I don't remember doing that, ever.
I can jog.
I'm about 10 pounds away from the lowest weight I've been as an adult.
I have more cardio endurance than I did the last time I was at this weight.
I have a personal trainer, and I like it!
I bought boxing gloves, and I'm not afraid to use them! kapow!
All my pants make my butt look like it's non-existent.
Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I can see a skinner me beginning to emerge.
I noticed I can climb the stairs to my apartment and it's much easier now.
My blood pressure is normal, I don't need meds anymore.
Topic: RE: anyone had alcohol yet?
I agree with Jessica. I have had an occasional drink since my surgery.I foung I had no problems with it.If anything I found i do as much for as before the surgery.ALOT of people will disagree with me on this and that's fine.My life strategy now is anyhting in moderation that is okay with my surgeon.Use your own personal judgement.If you are going to stress about the extra calories, it's not worht it.If you can have a drink or2 and relax and enjoy it .go for it!
Cheers

Topic: RE: anyone had alcohol yet?
another thing......I dont think anything in moderation will harm you and my surgeon says it was fine to drink....They just dont want you to do it daily....1 glass of wine during xmas dinner will not ruin anything....being a nurse ...I would never do anything to screw up my surgery.....I would be expected to know better...ha hahaha
Topic: RE: anyone had alcohol yet?
So far I have had a 1/2 a glass champange and on another occasion beer...I dont feel it affected me any quicker than it normally would have and just a note...I am not a drinker.....ya know just a social drinker....anyway I found anything with bubbles(Beer, Champange) was a very weird feeling,,,,you took a sip and actually had to wait for it to funnel down....We were at a friends 30th birhtday party and did a shot or jagermeister and red bull(yuck)....But it went down alot easier than bubbles.....Good luck

Hi, Kim!
I'm an August WLS recipient and thought I'd check out July's boards to see what I might expect in the coming months after surgery. I thought I would tell you what my surgeon and team of nurses, nutritionist, etc said about alcohol. They recommend not consuming alcohol for at least a year post-op. I was told it can hinder progress as well as cause other problems along the way. I'm too chicken to try it because of some of the horror stories I've heard about it LOL. I just wanted to let you know what I had heard about it.
Good luck in your journey and God bless!!

Topic: RE: Anyone loosing alot of hair
I always notice it on my bathroom floor. I'm like you - Ewww, gross!! I've been told hair loss occurs around 3 months, so let's just hope it another "phase" before we get to our GOALS!!
