I should explain- the sugar alcohols are what made me feel sweaty, nauseous, dizzy. Google why does sugar alcohol make me sick after vsg . Made so much sense. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 194 GW 135

The triple zero yogurt is the only one I can tolerate out of the regular sf brands because it has no artificial sweeteners. I tried yoplait 100 and it made me so sick- realized I don't tolerate sugar alcohols hardly at all. So glad the triple zero comes in great flavors! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 194 GW 135

NO Carbonated beverages- FOREVER!
DianeJarrett replied to Lexington1020's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
You don't have to rule it out forever, just remember for the first 6 months or so.. and not for nothing, juice is great with alcohol. Screwdrivers, gin and juice, cranberry and vodka... all great. LOL -
Has anyone kept their surgery a secret?
blondie66 replied to kcvasquez's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
It's actually pretty easy to not say too much. I had a hernia fixed same time as RNY so I just told peeps had hernia operation and then I was on meds for 6 months which I couldn't drink alcohol when taking and now had to watch what I'm eating - it's best not to tell people cause they judge you!! It's the easy way out and it becomes a discussion even years after surgery by some friends and family who won't let it go...normally people who need to lose weight! I wish I had told less people. Your health is what matters people need to mind their own business and comments. If they want to get the surgery they can talk to their doctors and do research. I told a person who had easily 200 pounds to lose about my surgery cause I thought it would help and she asked how I lost my weight and she's used it against me since and has told many people...so lessened learned we don't need to try and save people who don't want to be!! -
No carbonated drinks ever. That includes sparkling wine. I'm six months out. My surgeon gave me clearance to drink alcohol after 2 months. I drink at least once a week. Wine is my choice. Do remember that you will handle alcohol differently after surgery.

Hi, I was sleeved June 8th 2016, have lost 140lbs, so far I can drink sliver rum and do okay whereas sparkling wine, wine have a harder time the sugar dumps into system to quickly. Anyway no one anywhere endorses drinking alcohol post surgery but just be smart and for me I waited until I hit major goals to partake. I am on a bocce team plus work in the wine industry so its hard to not be tempted. Now I weigh exactly 140lbs lost 1/2 of my body weight, now maintaining. Again, be smart they do not want us to hurt our new pouches and to get alcohol poisoning or have transfer of addictions. Good luck

Yes of course I know there won't be binge drinking, but what about social drinking? Thus may sound silly but my husband and I are on a bowling league and a softball team and in both cases we usually hang out and have a beer or 2....will I be able to do that? I mean if my stomach can only hold 4-6 oz I'm thinking I won't be able to? Just trying to get mentally ready!!

Nausea - when will it go away?
Cateyez001 replied to skl228's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hello, When I was out of the recover about to go home from getting my band and gallbladder removed I fault nausea and the stuck a alcohol pad on my nose it worked. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app -
XYZXYZXYZ1955 I would be very very careful about adding in anything like butter or cheese. I have found that the foods that are really calorie-laden are best left out of the diet for ever otherwise you'll start getting a taste for them again and undo all the hard work. I have been walking and running at least 10kms every weekday and hiking 30-40kms every weekend with my husband. I don't eat ANY of the bad stuff, butter, cheese, pasta, rice, cookies, cakes, bread, deserts (except very low calorie ice-cream) and I haven't bought chocolate since my op. I quite literally used to be addicted to the stuff. I don't drink alcohol or sweetened drinks. I find I can't have the thinks I used to pig out on in even the smallest amounts, I have to cut them completely, otherwise I'll just go back to bad habits. I now have a real taste for salads, fish, meat, seafood, fruit and all things yum and healthy. I would never add any butter because it's an unhealthy fat. I do use a little Olive Oil in cooking though, which actually helps stimulate ketosis. Good luck on your journey. It will get easier.

Just a look at gastric bypass in other countries
Romaina posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm from Argentina and I'm at a week after my gastric bypass. It seems to my some of my experiences are a bit different mainly in the pre op / post op diet. I started dieting pre op with the nutritionist in my surgery team almost 7 weeks before surgery. The first 3 weeks were a solid diet of high protein low carb diet with no sugar or alcohol whatsoever. The 4th week it was alternating days of solid diets and liquid diet and the last three week just liquid diet. The liquid diet consisted of Breakfast: 1 cup of coffee and milk (fat free) with the protein mixed in Mid morning: 1 cup of sugar free yogurt Lunch: 1 cup of soup (low calories) + fruit shake (half a banana +milk) with protein added Mid afternoon: the juice of 2 oranges Afternoon : same as breakfast Dinner: same as lunch All of this plus at least 2lts of water I lost 26 pounds before surgery. I'm starting my 2nd week post op and during the first week it was just water, te, clear broth and sugar free jello (of course with the vitamins). The goal was to get at least 2 lts of liquid consuming 1 cup in an hour. Yesterday I was given the diet for the second week and it's kinda similar to the pre op liquid diet (with a but more powder protein added) with out the yogurt, orange juice and fruit shake (always adding the vitamins) I have lost 15 pounds since surgery day and really feel soooo full all day that I don't even crave anything else. I'll keep you posted on how thing progress!! Sent from my LG-H815 using BariatricPal mobile app -
I'm getting so scared they are going to deny me. I've been following my insurances guidelines but the past two-three months I have plateaued in my weightloss. I keep changing things to try and drop the weight but aside from liquid diet idk what else to do.. I don't drink soda or alcohol I try my hardest to avoid carbs, I eat at regular times, I'm trying to be a lot more active, .. I'm so scared they will deny me for the last of weight loss... and then I was denied because the doctor didn't send in the paperwork right.. but the insurance said just have them resubmit it.. I just want this change in my life to keep moving forward. Also I don't eat much because I eat off kid size plates but I'm stuck with my weight.

Alcohol after surgery
SleeveDreamer replied to lkm96h's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am wondeing why you are allowed alcohol at all right now, but I see now that you had your surgery three years ago. It contains sugar that your pouch should not have. I was told not to have it for at least a year. I had a sleeve 5 1/2 yrs. ago and also waited a year before having any but sugar is not good if you have had RNY. -
Advice and Support Needed!
Geri Marie replied to specialkron's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Sorry, it posted too soon! Lol. I ment to say I am lactose intolerant as well and I use almond milk add an alternative. It has tons of calcium. Start by replacing one or two meals with a protein shake. Get rid of the carbonated beverages and alcohol. That would be a great start! I am Nov 13 surgery so I'm right there with you.

So, be careful. This is actually why they tell people who have had the surgery to not drink at all. First, too much sugar in it. Second, we can easily transfer our food addiction on to alcohol, which has bigger risks. We just trade one addiction for another. My surgeon, other surgeons that I know of personally who do this surgery, the NUTs, everyone involved say please do not drink. Anymore. From now on. Now, most of us do and are fine but it is VERY common for people who have had this surgery to become alcoholics. It is just a risk that we have and it happens a lot. To me, it is bad enough to be addicted to food but the other addictions really really scare me. Take care and whatever you decide, we are rooting for you.

Alcohol after surgery
Airstream88 replied to lkm96h's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not yet. I've only had a few sips. My surgeon requested I not drink any until at least a year as they are worried about transfer addiction. (food -> alcohol). You may want to see someone before it gets out of control. -
Is anyone having a problem with drinking too much alcohol after the surgery? I have now become obsessed with alcohol.. kind of like I was about sweets before surgery. I've kept off 110 pounds!!!

Weight in the low 200lbs before surgery
CocoNina replied to Keekey's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I forgot to answer this. The first 3 months I ate what I was supposed to eat according to my dietitian's plan for me (protein, no fat, no carbs except non-starchy vegetables). When I came in on my 3 month followup, I'd lost already 68% of my excess weight (or excess fat). The goal for my doctor is for his clients to lose 30 - 50% in their first year & I surpassed it. The week before my 4th month post-op I drank alcohol for the 1st time (was on my anniversary vay day) & have been following the Atkins & Ketos diet.The only starch I eat is the occasional potato, but that's less than 2 oz a serving. My serving size is still small, about 5 oz a meal. And I exercise 3-5 days a week. I feel great. I was obese since 2008 & got the solution for it this year with WLS. I was never obese before that so people that knew me back then say I'm looking like my old self. My new friends I met after 2008 are proud of me. I don't think people treat me that much differently. I've always acted confident & have a big personality so people treat me based on how I am, not my looks (thankfully). I've always ignored haters when I was fat & will still ignore them now that I'm thinner. I keep positivity around me. Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs. Surgery date: 2/13/17 Goal: -71 lbs for healthy BMI (about 145 lbs). Current weight: 145 lbs, now ready to lose 15 more past goal. My profile picture is not me. It's my "FITspiration" body. -
I had a sf kona ice early out too and it made me so sick! So do sf slurpees. St popsicles are fine- I think the flavorings must me too concentrated or something like that. I got some sf butterscotch candies that I am realizing give me the sweats and hot flash- I'm wondering if they are really sf or if maybe they have a high sugar alcohol. This is a trial and error area for sure! I ate something on Saturday that made me so nauseous and gassy for hours and can't figure it out- I only ate yogurt, yoplait 100. I'm wondering if it uses the same artificial sweetener! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

Artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols are sometimes an issue for me post-WLS so I just stay away from them. I also abstain because they add no nutritional value and do not aid in weight loss (the opposite in fact) per numerous scientific studies.

I have been married for 2 years together for 6. I have 3 children from 2 previous relationships. I began struggling with weight as a teen until I began to run track. Long story short, messy divorce so my mother stopped caring so I began to hang around with people that I thought cared. Started smoking cigarettes at 15. Around this time my mother kicked me out, homeless and in 10th grade, and still a straight A student. One night while I was crying at the local coffee shop, with change I had begged strangers for, a classmate offered me to stay with her. That was my first night doing drugs. My life changed, no more track, but was finally thin. However, there were days I starved because it was either pay rent or buy food, at 16. Fast forward, abused drugs and alcohol for almost 20 years. Then years later, in my early 30's I went to jail. My mother had embellished a story that I had stolen over $30,000 of property from her home. I did go to her home, but I did not steal that amount of property. She had my children and also refused to allow me to see them. Fast forward. 6 years later I am clean, almost done with my MBA and am CEO of a non profit that helps people get sober. Mother still refuses contact. I gained a lot of weight as a result of, mental health meds, ability to finally buy food, and having a car. Surgery was a viable option. Had been almost 300 pounds for 6 years. Developed diabetes and pcos. Sent from my SM-J320V using BariatricPal mobile app
