Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I feel your pain, I have been invited to go on a cruise later this year to Mexico. I feel now like what the hell am I going to do in Mexico now?

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Good for you Kim. I know that was hard. I probably would have caved thinking, " Oh well this is my last chance before surgery. " Great Job!!!! wrote: I attended a pampered chef get together tonight. Ever since I found out I was approved for surgery,I have tried to cut down portions & cut out all alchohol.Usually I would have a couple drinks at a party or at home but tonight I abstained.Just about everything she had there was alcohol.All the fruit was soaked in it,desserts,etc. It was hard seeing everyone else around me enjoying the drinks & getting tipsy but I did it! This will be one of the hardest things for me to adjust to.Especially since my husband drinks beer every night. I realize that losing weight is more important to me that a few relaxation drinks. Ok,thanks for letting me spill that here. Kim __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Kim, I know it is hard and I'm really proud of you!!!! But you know what??? You will be able to eventually have this again and do these things again. It will all just be in moderation. I have an occasional glass of wine. I have an occasional dessert. The difference between now and then, I have 1 glass of wine, I have a few bites of desert. This isn't the end of all of that. You will need to stay away from it until you loose the majority of your weight. Then you can start introducing them back in to your life but in moderation!! You will need to relearn how to eat and it sounds like you are taking steps to do that now. Like I said I'm really proud of you!!!!! Hang in there!!!

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I am two years out and I still drink occasionally. I love martini's Bobbi -- Hard to adjust I attended a pampered chef get together tonight. Ever since I found out I was approved for surgery,I have tried to cut down portions & cut out all alchohol.Usually I would have a couple drinks at a party or at home but tonight I abstained.Just about everything she had there was alcohol.All the fruit was soaked in it,desserts,etc. It was hard seeing everyone else around me enjoying the drinks & getting tipsy but I did it! This will be one of the hardest things for me to adjust to.Especially since my husband drinks beer every night. I realize that losing weight is more important to me that a few relaxation drinks. Ok,thanks for letting me spill that here. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
