  1. I don't know why a WLS would make people think they get drunk differently. Other than drinking on a empty stomach ,which you could do before WLS, why would having WLS make anyone get drunk or not get drunk slower or faster? I seriously don't understand how WLS could make a difference. I occasionally have a cocktail, and I feel the same buzz I felt before WLS.


  2. It depends on how much you have to lose also. I've lost 47 pounds since my surgery June 9. I of course think it should be more. I want to lose about 25 more! But I feel and look good now, I'm in a loose size 10 jean :) now from a tight 16. And I think I would've lost more by now if I didn't give in to bad choices , on a weekly basis. I admit it, I eat things I should not eat, and I have a cocktail or two on the weekends. If I didn't maybe my weightloss would be more, but as it's been said slow and steady wins the race! I'm still healthier than I was before I started this journey, and I'm still me, the surgery didn't turn off my want to eat, I wish it did but that's just not the case.


  3. I have lost tons of hair, it's absolutely crazy how much hair is in the shower after I wash it, and then if I flat Iron it, there's hair all over my floor. It's all over my white tile all over my house! My hairdresser can't believe how much hair I've lost. I started taking 5000mg of Biotin about 2 months ago, not seeing a big difference yet. I'm Italian and Greek ,so I'm worried about facial hair getting thicker :/

    Luckily I have lots of hair on my head, even though I've lost probably half(no joke) I don't have any bald spots, my hair dresser even said to me, you just have a normal amount of

    Hair now. Lol. Anyway, I hope the biotin helps. My pharmacist said 5000 mg is best daily.


  4. I didn't tell anyone at work, I had my surgery in June. It's getting tough now, because everyone is so interested in how I'm losing weight , I work with mainly women. And they can be very catty. I feel bad about "lying". But I'm too far into it to now tell the truth. I didn't want people judging me, and I am a private person too. But it's snowballing now because I'm asked daily how I'm doing it. I just say I've cut my portions way back and I started excerise. -- which is true. ;)


  5. Your tickers are there viewing from the webpage. Unfortunately the app doesn't show ticker or most profile info. This is why newbies want us to type our stories up in threads....I think it's a shame as I spent alot of time reading tickers and profiles preop!

    Yeah, I don't know why they changed a good thing. The ticker really inspired me. I miss seeing it. So I'm not very savvy, how do I view my ticker ? TIA
