    Alcohol?

    How soon after bypass did u start drinking alcohol? I know beer is out, but a friend is having a big birthday bash soon and I was wondering. I am only 7 weeks out. I will be about 9 by then. Im pretty confident finding what I can eat in social situations without feeling awkward but im not a big drinker as it is.... I just dont wanna feel/seem like a total party pooper.
  2. I got scared the night before... I started thinking of all the what ifs and probably slept about 2hours. But it is and WILL BE all worth it. I am 5 weeks out now, and down 31lbs. I am having a wonderful experience so far. Wish u the best!

    Going to the Movies

    Ooohh yeah i gave those to my son when he was little. Thats a great idea. And they have a bunch of flavors. Also walmart has a brand thats even cheaper.

    If u can tolerate them... break up a few rice cakes. Throw em in a baggie and sprinkle the popcorn seasoning (i like the white cheddar) and shake it up.

    Why did you choose bypass?

    Hi... great question. Alot of people asked me this. My surgeon told me since I have history of acid reflux that the sleeve was not an option for me. I really wanted the sleeve at first, I felt the bypass was so much more invasive... but I am 5 weeks out now and am so happy with my choice. I weigh in tomorrow. But last time I checked I was down 30lbs. I am hoping that I am under the 200 point tomorrow!! Fingers r crossed.

    Resolutions no more just goals.

    I have what I call my sort-of wls bucket list. -zipline -paintball -wear heels -play twister w/my kids *take lots of pictures. I'm just 3 weeks out so in time to start the new year off right! !
  10. I know MANY women who have WLS suffer from PCOS, I am only 3.5 weeks out so idk if my cycle has/will regulate but did anyone else have excess hair growth from PCOS and if so, did that stop, & when???
  11. Magnesium citrate? Do u get that from the drug store???
  12. Hi... I'm 3 weeks out SW 244 surg date 232 today 209. 1. The anesthesia was so scary. I woke up feeling like I'd be sick, then panicked thinking what would happen if I did. 2. That the hospital I was in was SO noisy .. sounds silly but, it was crazy. Everytime I dozed off I was woken by slamming doors. 3. That some of my friends would be jealous. .. almost mean. That being said.... yes, my hospital stay was rough but I left wit no pain meds. Incisions are just about healed. No pain. No trouble tolerating anything so far. Some constipation... but working on getting more Water in.
  13. I am 3 weeks out. And its been almost a week. Also... I just started soft foods. I feel so sick and full that I can't even get another sip of water in.... I tried milk of magnesia, nothing!! Any other suggestions??
