Sleeved and didn't change.

I know someone who has been sleeved. She lost the weight but She still drinks, eats schrooms and smokes pot.   

I am shocked someone would still get high after making that change. What if you got the munchies over ate and popped your pouch or ruptured your staple line,     

 

  Not likely to happen, b/c your sleeve will let you know in a HARD way when it is full ..     I've never heard of anyone popping their sleeve back open from eating too much ..   

  That being said, I really think it's stupid  silly  etc. to use drugs to being with, but esp. to abuse your body like that after caring enough to go through WLS ..   IMHO ...      Wit h the eating restrictions of the sleeve, I wonder now if they will turn to that bad habit more than ever, as a redoubled transfer addiction ..   



  (psssst ..  it's "shrrrrrrrrooooooommmmmmmmmmmms"   )

I don't know what pot does to you post sleeve but I would think if it did give you the munchies they just wouldn't last long as you would eat something and pretty quickly be full. Although maybe in your high state you would be careless and eat too fast or take too big a bite and get sick. Probably not a good idea.  Honestly it's probably better than drinking after this surgery though, at least pot doesn't have any calories. Better stay away from it all though. I did that kind of stuff before because my obesity made me miserable. I want to be healthy and happy now naturally.

Now my brothers wife had a mini bypass in 2000. She lost a boat load of weight and is like a rail now. She is in her early 50s and has been on the bottle for the last few years.  She wrecked her GMC envoy 14 times before it was finally totaled this year.  She had 3 accidents in Feb 09 alone and another DUI

She would drink those single serving bottles of wine lol 6 a night. So now she is on her 2nd DUI, blowing her car to get it started and going to AA classes again. 

They spent 15k in 07 for her DUI. The 09 DUI will be alot more. 

She is finally getting help, again.
 

sorry (in a hush voice) shrrrrrrrrooooooommmmmmmmmmmms"  

I drink pretty heavily. Not daily (usually). Mostly weekends. I'm an abuser, once I start I can't stop till I'm being driven home. I love just having fun and loosing my mind (almost literally). I'll grow up again one of these days. My latest addiction is Tuaca and SF-Redbull or Cranberry/Pomgranet juice.

Tuaca, OMG that stuff is so good, its dangerous.  in 03 I discovered Tuaca on the rocks, I drank a bottle of it and drove home 15 miles. I slept in my driveway and woke up the next afternoon and barfed my brains out.  LOL that was the last time i drank that..

Gran manier is the same way, Od'd on that too...


This is the cooler in the Irish pub I hang out in.. LOL I drink here for free. They have 45 on tap too.. Sux I am starting protein shakes this week..

It's trading one addiction for another. A good example not to follow.

I know, I know. Due to my mother dying of depression and alcoholism I make sure I keep it in check.

I am sorry Dog, I did not mean to direct that at you in any way but at the original posting. Hang in there, I know how hard it is to quit addictions and habits as much or more than anyone. It is a day to day struggle. I would also like to pass on to you my condolences on your mother passing. That's always hard, losing a parent.
I know that she would be proud of your weight loss success. You are building a new life for yourself.  Like I said hang in there and be proud, as you should be, of how far you've come. Then don't look back and keep looking forward. Your future is ahead of you.
