questions!
Ok this is my first post. I am 4 ft 10 in and 220 pounds with a 45.9 bmi. I need only to loose 115 pounds to reach my ideal body weight. I have started the pre op evaluations and hoping to have a surgery date soon. I have several questions, maybe you all can help?
Question 1 - with the bypass. I was told alchol will be severly intensified afterwards, what about medications?
Question 2- Since we can no longer use straws to drink out of, what about like sports bottles like the gatorade and spouted water bottlesn are thry a no no too?
Question 3- Is my BMI low as appossed to the usual WLS patients?
Questions 4- If it is lown will I be able to do less os the liquid diet?
Question 5- ok wierd question here but would like an honest answer, is sex different after you loose the extra weight?
Question 6-Are there certain foods you can never eat again besides soda?
Question 7- Do you know if herbal wraps help the sagging skin afterwards?
Question 8- Is there any one from the Columbia or Moberly area that would want to help be my support buddy? Guy or Girl welcome. I am 22 and would prefer some one close to my ageM
Thanks for all your help.

Hi Nina, arent you just full of questions? lol well i will try to answer some of them for you ok?
1. yes alchol is almost dangerous if you cant control....it takes a smal amount to make you drunk fast but then you also become sober quick ...the danger is that someone might say oh well im sober now i will drink some more and they do this over and over and get way too much in their system without realizing it. and cause alchohal poisioning .
2. i do use a straw, have since the beginning, i think they say that because it does cause gas. no reason that you cant use the spouted bottles.
3. no your bmi isnt low....it only has to be above 40 to have surgery.
4. cant answer that , i didnt have to do the liquid diet before surgery my doctor wasnt doing that then
5. dont know what you mean by different but i think how you think about yourself is so different in the fact that you can do things that you couldnt before. and i think we feel more sexy so that may make it a little more excitiing ,lets say....
6. my doctor said nothing white ever again...i dont know what he or others say now. but all white foods are nothing but bad carbs ....and we dont need them...
7. dont know the answer to that one either, I really dont think so but since you are so young it might. my old skin there isnt much that can help it except plastics and since i cant afford that for all my body i will just jiggle
8. there are lots of people up in different areas hey people anyone close to this little ones age up in that area????? stay with us on the board , even tho a lot of us on here are older we will love you to death lol
hope i have helped.

Question 4: I don't think it matters what your BMI is you still have to do the 2 wk liquid diet. Just remember it will help shrink the liver and allow the surgeon to do his job easier and safer. It was hard the first few days but it is doeable and just keep in mind the end result and what you are working towards.
I drink out of straws too. I didn't for about the first 3 months after but I do no and have no problems.
Ok, here goes with the sex part.....I think we enjoy sex more then we did and there is less fat around that area therefore I think you feel more sensual and more stimulated don't have to work so hard to feel the full pleasure of it.
I know they say carbs are off limits but for me sometimes that was all I could eat because I had a probelm with a lot of meats at first. I think in moderation they are ok but if they are triggers for you and make you want more and more it's best to just tell yourself they are off limits and don't even tempt yourself with them. Once you start on carbs it's hard to get rid of the carb monster again!
Never say never when it comes to what you can and cannot eat! You may not be able to eat something lets say 3 months out but maybe at 9 months out you try it again and you do ok with it. Everyone is different you just have to keep trying until it works for you.
Good luck on your journey it is an amazing one!
