Well i had a very small sample of blkberry wine today at our local arts n crafts festival, I shared it. So i actually only had 2 sips. It didnt bother me... I love margarita's but im scared to drink them until my nut says i can, ill prolly drink the skinny marg. Small cup shld be fine!. I am almost at my 2month mark.

Hello everyone, My name is Jocelyn. I live in a small but big tourist town Bardstown, KY. I don't really use this forum very much, been busy with kids on fall break. But anyways I had my surgery on 8/17/11, so about 7 wks out. The time has actually flown by, I have lost a total of 41lbs. 12 pre-op, the rest post-op. I have went down 4 jean sizes, and 2 shirt sizes. Im so loving this new life. It is a journey though and I am still very new to all the changes... Its hard sometimes, when your at family functions, ballgames, or just out with your friends. Sometimes I forget that I cant eat like the rest... Im not talking about eating alot, just about eating and drinking at the same time, or watching what im drinking.. Its not east, buts its not hard either. The little bit of pain and discomfort was well worth it...

highest weight 260 surgery weight 248 one month out 230 goal weight 150-170 I am 5'8!

my surgery was the 17th, came home on the 20th. I had my drain removed right b4 i left to go home. said the hole will close in 2-3 days.. I too am sleepy almost all the time, even now cant keep my eyes open. and i sleep horribly, my bed is an excerise its high off the floor, and getting up to go pee, is nutz, and hurts. im getting my protein/fluid down fine. but i dont think im doin it right. i try to sip on them. my stomach is sore, but the side my drain was on, that part hurts the most. im itching like nuts.. i caught myself scrating at the incision during the night. i guess ima gonna have to put socks on my hands for bedtime, b4 i scratch thru my skin. painful n scarey situation!!! i am walking and climbing stairs, but im not pushing myself.. I have not, "knock on wood" had any hunger headaches, or hunger pains! the stomach growling, noises and moving is kinda weird though, but my dr said thats because the stomach is confused and mad because of the changes. my gas is okay i guess. had 3 bm in the hospital, but only a half of 1 at home....need help on wt more i can drink.

i can totally agree with this. im 5'8, and 260 is the highest weight i have been. my surgery is 2mrw, im having the sleeve done!! I wear a 24 in jeans and a xxlarge n sweatpants. i wear 2x in t-shirts, but i can also wear xl in club/casual tops. weird i know! All my friends do not agree with my decision, but its the best for me. I have type 2 diabetes, and im really jus trying to be more healthy for me, i want to get down to atleast 160... i think i cld pull off 145!!
