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
