Nine months out and Alcohol

[Guest guest]

Had my nine month check up and am doing really good. On dr scale I'm

down 88 lbs, but I'm down about 91 on my scale and prefer to go with

that number!!! (-; Was told to stop taking iron cuz my iron count is

too high!!! I mentioned to the dr that I find I have discomfort on

the lower left side when I wear something tight around the waist and

was told that that's because of the scar tissue from my laprny and

the discomfort may not go away. Has anyone else been through this?

I find I can't tolerate wine or champagne. Haven't tried beer, but

am drinking vodka. I also had rum on our cruise. I've been drinking

a little more vodka than usual lately and am wondering if I am

hurting myself. All of a sudden I am awakening in the middle of the

night with an irritated stomach! Find myself taking an extra Pepcid

Complete (my surgeon has me taking two in the a.m. and two in the

p.m. throughout thefirst year for the stomach and for calcium) I

find I'm tolerating chocolate too and wonder if that's bothering my

gut! \
