Wedding Advice?

[wanttobeamoore 1]

Hey, all. I am pre-op and just got engaged over Christmas break - so now I am trying to plan this whole timeline thing. Do you think 6 months post-op would be too soon to have the wedding? What has been your experience 6 months out? I want cake and champagne!!!

Thanks for your input,

Amy

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

My surgery was Jan 12.. 5 months later I turned 50 and went to Vegas, was on my feet for 3 days, had my first drink - which was champagne and proceded to have 4-5 more drinks that same day.. It didnt kill me... made me go to bed very, very early but nothing wrong with that on your wedding night!!! :aureola:

congrats on your engagement! I have a question: can you PLAN a wedding in 6 months??? Make sure that you're not spending all your time planning, you'll want to enjoy a little bit of time being engaged!

My only concern would be the wedding dress...if you keep shrinking, its going to be hard to get it altered so it fits when you, have no idea how much weight you will lose by then! Good luck and congrats!

I would be concerned about the dress too. It is not only pounds that you will lose. Plus the undergarments and all that hoopla. I was engaged and married within a 7 month time frame, but that was how we wanted it. I can't imagine trying to learn to eat again and trying to focus on a wedding. I think it would be possible though.

Thanks for the feedback! I am still in my 6 month pre-op diet stage, and I probably wont be getting the surgery until August. I figure if I do most of my planning now, I can focus on healing and just tweaking the wedding stuff during those in between months after surgery. The dress would be the very last thing on my to-do list .... :wub:
