Blame it on the.....................
NO not the alcolol :)
Tell me something do you have the tendency to blame everything that happens to your body/health on WLS?
Oh my God my hair is getting thin because.........
I don't have regular bowel movements because.........
I get dehydrated really easily because...............
I no longer look like Halle Berry because.................(LOL)
I have a hernia because..................
And the list goes on.
I say all of this to say that a couple of weeks ago I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and I'm not a little old white lady. I'm not a spring chicken but I'm not a little old lady of any hue.
As with everything in my life (health wise) I say it's because of WLS.......But then again I'm a short person (5'0") and I'm small boned so it's not out of the realm of possibilities that I could get osteoporosis this young.
Whatever the cause make sure you take your CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS on a regular basis. My PCP gave me the diagnosis after a bone density test. I haven't had the opportunity to discuss it with my surgeon about it yet. The PCP is afraid to put me on the medications currently on the market because he thinks it would hurt my stomach.
What do you blame it on having had WLS? Everything?

With that being said, I am still happy with the surgery, still need to lose more weight and haven't given up on publishers clearing house. LOL
It is what it is and I am what I am. All ok.

I blame that smacking sound my legs make when I run sometimes, my legs were always so fat and stuck together they were never seperated to make a sound.
I blame the bald spots all over my head.
I blame the complete despiration I feel to be a certain size.
But I don't miss being fat.
