3 mos post op. I had a vodka cran and I got buzzed pretty fast with just that one drink (and pretty bad heartburn so I double up my zantac meds when I do drink). Make sure u try it in your house first or have a DD that night.

I never had any problems with my gallbaldder until after surgery. It was a constant achy dull pain on the right side. It progressively got worse and had to get it taken out 2 weeks after I got my sleeve. I was so terrified to go under the knife again so soon. But luckily the gallbladder surgery was MUCH MUCH easier to recover from....I forgot the name of the test they ran to check my gallbladder but talk to your dr so he can schedule it for u. Good luck!!

Im a paramedic and doing the two week diet was tourture because my partners stopped at fast food resturants twice a day.You can do it just stay away from temptation as much as possible. Keep up the good work Libbylou!!

Vodka canberry should be ok.....if its too strong order a bottle of water after to help flush it.

I didnt have much pain (maybe a 2) but the nausea was THE worst. I was on 3 nausea meds.

It was hard to tolerate water for the first 3 weeks....Try ice or mix water with g2

Yeah u should start......I have insanity too and I plan to start on Sept 1st.We can do it!!! lol

lol @tums.I hated the chalkyness (if thats even a word lol) of it.lol........Im on zantac and its 300mg and to me its much better when I take it at night.

Im just shy of 3 mos and I will say my acid reflux is getting better.My dr had me on meds twice a day and I was taking that plus tums. Now I just take one at night before I go to sleep and no more tums. My dr also suggested that I dont sleep flat in the beginning weeks and that helped too.

Ask plenty of questions!! No matter how small or dumb it may seem.

Im 9 weeks out and it gives me heartburn in the worse way. :-/

Congrats!!!! Sept 17th will be here before u know it!!
