I had my first drink 9 weeks post op...i am a bartender so although i dont really drink at work i do socialize and like my cocktails. I am a beer and vodka drinker and shots are always in the mix. i havent had any beer ,i scared of the bubbles and i usually use seltzer as a mix so i cant do that now either ..also the shots i havent done .. but i love my coconut vodka on the rocks with a bit of pineapple juice now or my vodka and splash of cran with lots of ice.. We have to live our lives so enjoy !!! Its just the calories i think we need to watch out for!

THATS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I sooo jealous........you go girl!!!

OMG...My anxiety was crazy after surgery ,,I am not on any steady medication for it ,nor have i ever been , but i did think about going to the dr. because it was making me crazy .. I think it had a lot to do with having to make sure i got in all fluids and protein in .. I was having lots of trouble right after surgery with the thought of not following the correct rules... It gave me much anxiety ,,then i sat back and said I only can do what my body will let me and things have gotten better. i still get anxious but its getting better..

WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for that.......congrats to you....

Yeah wouldnt that be nice ,,have surgery and poof we are skinny the next day... but it doesnt work that way unfortunetly. I am out 10 weeks and down 38 pounds ... i am a slow loser when i compare myself to some people on this board , But its my body and I am proud of my loss and it may give my skin a chance to catch up so maybe that is a big blessing. You are doing great!!!! Be proud and keep up the good work ... We will get there !!!!!!

My husband has been awesome through my whole journey so far !!!!!!! !I do love and appreciate him everyday..... he is just a pain in the butt in other waysss!! LOL

I did the same ,I made a folder for my husband so all the papers he would need were in there. .. but You will be just fine !!!!!!!!!! Good Luck in your journey

I was totally in your shoes( freaked out daily) ,,i still aim for 48oz of water and 45 grams of protein if I go higher thats great. i was sleeved 10 weeks ago. . If you like ice coffee you can get decaf and put in some unflavored protein ( like a scoop has 24g) in 16 0z of water .. do it 2x a day and you will get in 48g of protein and 32 oz. of water right there. (get a nice flavored creamer). It does get better ,I promise!!!

was about 2 weeks for me too!!!

HIi again ,,thanx for your response ,,yes i have had the surgery on 3/19/13..i was down 38 last i weighed myself..like i said its coming off but not so so fast , but even though i wish it were faster maybe its a good thing for my body so it can play catch up. You are looking so amazing. you dont eat much ,and you exercise alot ,,i gotta start exercising (I hate it!!!))please keep me posted on your journey..

I use to use a rocks glass ,,i new that if i ate it all even when i ate too fast it was never more than my tummy could fit...so i would never overeat..

Thats a wonderful thing ...You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had my surgery march 19 also. I also have a hard time with the water intake . I am try for 6 glasses a day (struggle). Its like a job and i hate it. I use decaf ice coffee alot (I add protein in it ). I do some crystal lite also . It just seems theres not enough time in the day cause when I eat i dont want to drink for hours cause i am so full. also try some warm drinks herbal teas and decaf hot coffee. I hope it gets easier. By the way how you doing with the protein ,,since we are sleeved the same day wanted to know how thats goin for you ?
