I'm weighing in at 182 now. I am 11 weeks out now and I can't believe how much i've lost and how fast! I'm a comfortable size 14 when I was a 20 in April! I'm wearing normal people size 14 shorts haha! My skin isn't as bad (loose) as I thought it was going to be. I still have time for that though. I do stretches and yoga everyday for about an hour. My energy is still kinda low, but I do need to start lifting and tone up.
My problems though are some serious heartburn. I'm not totally sure, but I think i'm starting to lose more hair which suuuuuuuucks!! I am naturally darkish blonde and I dye it black, so maybe I just need to redye it and i'm being paranoid, but I think I can see my scalp more now. EEkk! I'm never hungry though and forget to eat and I feel nauseous a lot when I do. I pop tums like crazy!
Wearing clothes that I haven't worn since high school is pretty awesome though, I have to admit. All my pants are way too big and I need new stuff. Shoes even fit me better! Fortunately my boobs haven't shrank yet! I honestly would be happy right where I am. Maybe like 10 more lbs in the belly area, but I really just need to tone it up and tone my legs and arms.. and butt. haha!
Now for the questions, and I apologize if i've asked this before. But do you any of you post sleevers smoke cigarettes? How soon after surgery did you smoke and did your doc make a big deal out of not smoking or at least tell you not to? Also, about drinking alcohol. How many post sleevers drink and how soon after did you start drinking? And what can you drink? I know probably not beer, but mixed drinks, shots, wine, etc? I'm just curious.
