Can we talk about alcohol? Shhh! Don't tell my Dr. But I started drinking again. I'm still loosing, so I'm not concerned about the caloric part of it. I mainly feel guilty because he told me not to drink for a year. But I'm single, 30, loving myself and my new body and I've been a SHUT IN for the last 4 years! I want to go out and have fun! Don't judge. If i do drink it's a wine spritzer or beer. I find that I get tipsy, then sober up real quick. I guess it goes right through me faster now and doesn't absorb like it used to? Anyone else have similar stories to share?

3 months.

I started using Ecigs as something flavorful to keep my hands busy watching tv instead of munching on junk food. I have a waffles flavor that is full of buttery maple goodness. Highly recommended!

I'm glad someone brought this up. My Dr. made me go off the pill a month before surgery until a month after. I was desperate NOT to since I have very heavy/painful cycles and it took years to get it under control. Alas, I went off it and am back on now (5 months Post surgery - 4 months taking pill.) but I've been spotting the entire time. Super annoying. Tampons are expensive!

Surgery date was Monday March 25th. RNY surgery was my 30th Birthday to my present, now almost 5 months later I feel like a whole new person. Ran my first 5K ever last month in 37:14! Just went on an air plane vacation and wasn't worried about needing a seat belt extender. No longer out of breath walking up to my 3rd floor apartment. My skin seems to be re-adjusting to my new body. I'm most worried about my arms/armpits, thighs and breasts. Anyone have any tips, recommendations for lotions and potions? My hair only recently started to fall out. I have VERY curly hair so I only notice it in the shower when I'm combing in my conditioner. It's definitely double what it used to be. Hopefully that will stop soon? I've had 1 dump so far when Vacation Me and RNY Me met for the first time a few weeks ago. I'm feeling so good i sometimes forget that I even had the surgery! I have hit a few "plateau" weeks, which worries me, but I think it has something to do with my monthly cycle. 5'6" HW: 260 PSW: 244 CW:175 > 85 lbs down! :-)
