Hi in the information diet booklet we are given to follow after surgery it says alcohol not recommended for 12 months:-( this is because we absorb it really quickly post sleeve so you get drunk really fast, and our livers are recovering from being moved about in surgery, I think i, ll have a glass at Christmas definitely which is 5 months post op, sure thats enough time.

soda makes me throw up I would never drink soda again... I have had popcorn and I've been fine with that. I even eat cookies here in there.. I love cheese I used to be bad when I started out because I was always on the go because the way I work I used a lot of chicken nuggets i would get a four piece it would take me a couple hours to eat it... but I asked my dad about it and she told me was bad because all the carbohydrate . so I broke my stuff out of that so what I do is I a lot of Lunchables because the protein and it easy on the go... I do a lot of Gatorade or I do that things are going to water but I'm so tired of water and I'm picky when it comes to my drinks at 8 Friday some but they made me sick so I don't do fries no more. I have had alcohol I cant do beer because of that frizz it makes me sick to bread makes me hurt bad so I'm so over it.

My doc's guidelines were to wait 4 weeks post op. I did have some wine around week 3. I'm now 6 weeks post op. I've drank a couple of times...can only have 2 or 3 glasses of wine now over a two hour period. I feel the buzz much quicker. I did go to a baseball game last saturday and I had two beers. They went down fine. I know it's a big no no...I'm not suggesting you do it. Just remember all the empty calories in alcohol...don't over-do it!

I was banded 5 mos. ago and just had my 1st alcoholic beverage since being banded. Pre band, I could drink a whole bottle of Moscato d'Asti...don't judge me, LOL. I poured a wine glass full earlier and could only take about 4 small sips. I was wasted! Geez...luckily, my neighbor is a lush!

I don't have any banned foods. I chew gum -- there's no way swallowing this will harm you stomach. As a sleever, we still have our original pyloric valve. I could see if we had the gastric bypass since those folks have a man-made one. I go through probably a pack of gum a day - 18 pieces. It keeps me from mindless eating. It just loses its flavor so fast. sugar-free... bubblegum, chocolate mint, lemon square, orangesicle, sherbet, etc. I probably have about six different flavors stacked up at any given time. Soda? Yep, I have that sometimes too. Not every day as it just takes me too long to drink it. (Baby sips, not swigs like pre-surgery.) Alcohol? Meh, doesn't appeal to me. My 21 year old self would be appalled to hear my 44 year old self say this. LOL Of course back then, I wouldn't have dreamed that I'd go to bed at 9:30 pm either. Candy? Meh, doesn't hold much appeal. I don't keep chocolate at my desk. I do have a HUGE bowl of hard candies and Tootsie Pops up on a shelf in my cubicle. They don't call my name. Ice cream? Sometimes. Maybe less than once a week, but a small cone. At least the Dairy Queen is ice milk, not ice cream. Actually, a small cone is too much. I usually get it in a dish to avoid the cone. pizza? Once a week. 1/8 of a frozen pizza is less than 200 calories. Considering I used to be able to eat an ENTIRE frozen pizza, this is a good compromise. I am finally able to eat steak again, but it does have to be tender. Grapes and other fruit? Heck yeah. But after the Protein. (Except for tonight. I had some cold washed grapes on the counter that I was munching on before supper - way too filling.) I just wish vegetables didn't fill me up so fast!! I now have spinach and baby carrots in my morning Protein shake. I can't taste or see them.

My nut told me 6 weeks was ok. I'm on week 5 and to be honest in week 3 I did drink a couple of beers and it was not a great experience I think because my stomach was not ready for beer,and I can't stand the way wine taste. If you are post op past 4 weeks I don't think a couple glasses of alcohol will hurt you,but its full of all the bad calories. To be honest I'm off until Sunday and I may have a couple of small 8 0z beers tonight and see what happens, :ph34r: .......

My program says a minimum of 6 months, but they prefer waiting a year for alcohol.

Hey yall! Does anyone know who long one should wait to have a glass of wine?

As an alcoholic friend of mine says, "that's why there is more than one brand of beer in the world!" I am relating my experience in criticizing a nutritionist who could suggest everything in moderation to a compulsive eater. Hey, if the advice to eat everything in moderation works for you, that's great. I've been trying that for 40 years, and haven't been able to master it yet. While my sleeve restricts the amount I can eat, I am starting to see how people eat around their sleeves. And this is just too important to me to screw it up. For me here is an example: I recently added sugar-free chocolate Fiber bars to my daily Snacks to try to up my fiber intake. And I am suddenly finding that I am craving things like ice cream. So, is the sugar-free chocolate a trigger for me? Too soon to tell, but I may have to give these up lest I go off the deep end and wallow in slider foods.

Things I will not miss...
Cnote replied to terry1118's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I actually told a friend of my sisters that he's the guy that would ask an alcoholic to have just one beer with him when he kept after me to go out to a buffet with them! Also having to use the handicapped stall in the restroom, and ordering two or three drinks in the drive through to pretend I am getting food for more than just me! It's been a long journey to get to this point and I am so ready to get the extra help having this surgery will give me! -
September 2013 sleevers..Requesting sleeve buddies :)
NuBeginnings replied to JodiAnn210's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery date is Sept 2nd!!! Just started my liquid diet today, and I must say that so far so good! I was pretty nervous about it, but for now, it seems doable. I did cut out my caffeine, alcohol, and sugar intake about 2 weeks ago, so I think it helped that I didnt cut everything at once. Hopefully the next few days keep going smoothly! Also, just wanted to add the following items to bring to the hospital, other than the gas-x strips and pillow, which are a great call: 1. Chap stick 2. sleeping mask 3. Baby wipes Good luck everybody!!! -

Could everyone stop annoying me? And get rid of all this food!
gamergirl commented on gamergirl's blog entry in Gamergirl's Blog
I felt like an alcoholic in a bar -
Not sure of the calorie content but I usually go for gin and tonic or just a dirty martini. Not a lot of mixer in either and you can sip on them for a while to make them last. I know for me, post banded, there isn't as much to soak up the alcohol so you become a bit more of a lightweight than in the past.

Just wondering I am off to the races and I am wondering what is the lowest calorie and best alcohol beverage to drink

Amazing! I was thinking this very thing the other day after eating a pitiful amount of food. I was full, of course, because I have a little tummy. Then the guilt set in like it always did when I had the same feeling with my big, stretchy belly. Somehow, a deeper level of consciousness came over me and I realized that the guilt was a ghost from the past. "I have eaten within guidelines", I told myself, "Wake up!" I have other ghosts from addictions past: drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, promiscuity, that come to haunt me from time to time either with guilt or invitations to return to prison. I realize and rejoice that I am not that man anymore. I turn on the lights, they vanish.

I am 10 months out. Yes there is a very very small chance of a leak which is usually out of your control. I think the stats are 1%. Personally I have had no issues except a few gallbladder attacks from losing weight too quickly - which a lot of us unfortunately have to deal with. I can eat and drink whatever with no issues including alcohol it is the same for me as before. I have not experienced any form of dumping. So I still have my "treat" days. Weddings, parties etc. I am at first goal now of a normal BMI for the first time in my life and of course I have no regrets! My only concern now is maintenance and keeping vigilant about regain etc. Goodluck with your surgery and decision

when you stopped your PPI
castiel replied to Momonanomo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I stopped mine somwhere around 4 months. I haven't had any issues with acid or heart burn. However, if I know I'm going to be drinking alcohol in a few days, I start taking some. -
Just because it's no sugar added doesn't mean there's no sugar. In those high amounts it is not good. I have not been able to find one that has low sugar. So I gave them up. You also have to be care of alcohol sugar its just as bad!

What's the Worst Diet Advice You've Received?
Butterthebean replied to Greeknugget's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lemme guess...your nut was like my nut....about 10% body fat. I mean don't former alcoholics lead the group at AA? Shouldn't people like us be NUTs for WLS patients? Those forever skinny people have no clue what it's like. -

So being that I'm trying to get into dating again....when do you "admit" you've had weightloss surgery!? I'm not at all embarrassed. But trying to talk my way out of meeting for beers or pizza isn't easy. It seems like everything revolves around alcohol and food. And so many people attach such a stigma to the surgery itself.

September Sleevers...! Come on in and chat!
ImLooznit replied to birdmadgirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was a Sept Sleever., Just stopped by to wish you all the best!... IF YOU do what the Dr tells you to do and drink your water.... YOU WILL succeed. If you lose 50 lbs like I have seen so many do, and then start eating Oreos, and chips instead of your protein and veggies............. you will fail. My wish is that everyone that is fixing to have this surgery done is that you follow the directions and do not get slack after a few months, thinking I can do this... YOU WILL FAIL. This is not a miracle. You do have to follow directions and rules. Do not ask after a month, why am I not losing, Can I drink alcohol.......... SLAP!!! SLAP!!!....... you will not lose every DAY, or WEEK. you will STALL, for what seems to you months. You WILL lose some hair..... to you it will seem like you are going bald, you are not. If you get in your protein and take your vitamins, this will help you. NO you cannot have this surgery and in 8 weeks go out and drink like you used to. If I can help any of you please let me know. I have gone from pushing out of 18W to a 8P. I have talked to people that knew me BEFORE surgery that did not know I had it and they do not even know who I am, and I am talking people that I was close to. This is a lifestyle. eating change....... You are doing the surgery to SAVE your life or make it better, please do not slack off after you have lost a few pounds, and there will be some of you that will do this. I am here to help, please let me know if I can help you. Drink that water and have a Blessed day! -

And I've had alcohol and gum I'm grown haven't swallowed it lol coffee makes me sick as a dog! Sent from my iPhone using VST
