10 month Dr check-up

Mar 29, 2010

I had my 10 month check-up with the nutritionist.  It went how I figured it would - fast.  It only took about 10 minutes.  She asked me if I would be happy if I were not to loose another pound.  I told her I would be okay with it, though I would like to lose about 5-10 more pounds.  She did tell me that the Doctor would be very happy when I come in for my 1 year appt in May because my BMI is now at 23 which she said was totally normal. 

We just got back from a weekend at Wisconsin Dells and I have to tell you that this was the first time I've been in my swimsuit (for HOURS at a time) and I did not feel embarrassed about it!  It was soo nice.  To just feel "normal."  I wasn't the skinniest person there (there's always someone who will be skinnier than you are) but I was not even close to being the largest!  YEAH!! 

Now, I've been really careful about not drinking any alcohol since the surgery.  Well, I had a couple this past weekend.  I had a Bloody Mary Friday night - I am really careful about not wanting a drink that is full of sugar, as I don't eat sugar at all.  Then I had Bloody Mary for dinner Saturday night and then we went to a dance club.  I had a vodka cranberry and was feeling good so we had a shot of Patron.  Hmmm, that was interesting.  I've read that alcohol can sometimes go right into our systems after having RNY - it sure did!  I've never felt like that in my life!  I didn't get sick, but I was suddenly so drunk that if I hadn't been on a chair I probably would have fallen over.  That feeling lasted about 15 minutes and then I just felt really, really buzzed for the rest of the night.  Much dancing ensued and all I had was a heck of a headache Sunday morning.  So I would just advise everyone that has had a RNY to be CAREFUL before you have a shot!!  It goes straight into your blood!  Even though I had a good time, I won't be doing that again anytime soon!

After a weekend away, I'm actually craving some veggies - go figure!  Have a good week!   ~ Marion
