I've only had alcohol on a couple of social occasions.. It hit me fast and made me very flush and uneasy for a minute or two, The interesting thing for me is I felt very buzzed quickly but then that feeling of being buzzed went away went away just as quickly.. I had some red wine and one time a very small glass of Vodka and cranberry and added ice to it all night. I've never had a problem with alcohol, just food, But I will say (as I have said before so please forgive me) that weeks after surgery I was still taking my pain meds every night (same time that I did my best eating too) to feel "better" I started looking forward to my night time dose. I refilled my meds twice I told my husband what I was doing and how I was feeling and we threw the pain meds out. I was never hooked on drugs just food..

This thread has been a great insight, but also a great laugh! I have truly enjoyed the jokes. Speaking of alcohol, I am nervous to have a drink! My surgeon said after 1 month it would be ok. I have a couple weddings coming up, and of course don't want to have one drink and become the life of the party. I understand alcohol effects people differently. What were some of your experiences after the first drink? What do you like to drink since you can't drink soda? My other concern is how many calories that are in liquor. I surely don't want to not be able to eat all day because I choose to have a drink. I will really have to question wether or not it's actually worth it. -
I've been in a stall for three weeks and before hand alcohol made me drop weight. It's weird how different the body takes it. I will wait the two months my dr says

This one scares me! I postponed my surgery because I found out less than 2 weeks before that a relative of a good friend was in the hospital dying of liver failure. She had cross addicted to alcohol after surgery to deal with her problems because she couldn't eat and alcoholism runs in my family so it concerned me. She died at age 32 and left 3 kids behind. = ( -
Help! Struggling to be ready for pre-op diet
winnada replied to mamamareli's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You know... Thinking about it... I feel the EXACT way I did in the few weeks before I had my first child. 3 weeks before she was born I started thinking... 1. I'm not ready 2. What if I'm not good at this 3. How could I give up 'MY LIFE' ... The only way of life I e ever known! Long story short... I would not change my decision to have my daughter in my life ( or my son who followed shortly after ). Life is about choices... Following through on our decisions. I believe that God has lead me to where I am currently, has cleared the path for me ( as the approval process was without any issues- even when I tried to dream some problems up ) and has blessed me with the loving supportive husband, brother, sister. I'm going to take it on! One hour at a time! I've always thought I was an 'displaced alcoholic' - food being my addiction. I'm going to take it hour by hour, which quickly turns in to days, weeks and one day... I will notice its been YEARS! -
My honest opinion? If you're letting her stick around, and you're supporting her, if she's not blood, or wearing your ring, she's out regardless. So you're not together, she knows this, what if she brings another man over? You gonna handle that well? What if you have the chance to hook up with someone, and you tell them "oh my ex lives with me still" boom she'll be gone faster than the road runner man. Plus, the wonderful common law marriage laws and community property laws. Not sure what state you're in but in Texas, she'd have rights to everything in your house and nothing you can do but take her to court. You said she's done nothing wrong, but then you say you can't stop revisiting the past and her "habits" etc. I'll tell you from experience in law enforcement, if her habit is alcohol and drugs, and your little boy is around that, and Mom is a clean person and finds out about it, you'll have more trouble on your hands than it's worth to keep her around.

I'm so happy I could cry
jen2013 replied to pookybear's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Their regular protein bars are amazing...like 5 net carbs/20g protein. They are endorsed by Eggface and hungrygirl. Good ingredient list and some have no sugar alcohols at all, for people that have issues with that. Lots of great flavors too...chocolate chip cookie dough is awesome as well as apple pie and others. I got these peanut butter cups but haven't tried them yet either. Hopefully this product means they are branching out into the snack bar world similar to the Atkins snack bars that are more of a sub for candy bars. Anything that helps satisfy our cravings for the bad stuff is great! -
In my opinion, since we lose the ability to consume large amount of food, our minds still don't lose that mentality of mass consumption. In other words, don't substitute alcohol for food because its something we can consume again in quantity. Plus with the ability to get anebriated faster, it can lead to bad habits.

My Dr. and I agreed that drinking was not a good idea period. For me it is a trigger for other bad behavior. I personally made the commitment that if I had to haul my ass up on an OR table and let a bunch of strangers cut out a perfectly good organ, I could put down the bottle. It isn't going to hurt me physically or socially if I don't take another drink. I don't need a drink to have a good time and I don't need to go back to where I have come from, and alcohol was one of the reasons that I was they way I was. Good luck with your choice.

But that's 5 grams sugar plus 7 grams sugar alcohol don't you add both so that would be 12 grams wright ??? -
Depends, are you talking water or alcohol? Water, the next day after my first leak test. Alcohol, about 4 months out. Just a couple sips of wine, no beer cause of carbonation.

nathaly replied to OleHippieGal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mmm sounds yummy! For me, my surgeon and nut said no more than 6g of sugar or sugar alcohol but 7 is close enough. You also have to watch the fat as high fat foods can also give you dumping. Let me know how it goes! HW 283. SW265. SD 3/22/13! CW 244. -

My Suggestion-Stop The Obsessing. Rules Are Meant To Be Broken
babybuff replied to NJSleeveboy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This has been a very interesting thread. I've enjoyed it. One thing I often want to say to people on here is put the darn scale away! I am two weeks out and started this journey October 4, 2012. Since 7/17/12, I am down 85 lbs and 52 of that since Oct. If I didn't lose another pound I would be happy. The surgery and recovery has been amazing for me. I can have hot and cold foods, I have been eating cottage cheese, tuna, and smoked salmon for he last 4 days. Not once have I vomited or had the runs. Here's where it gets interesting for me. There have been very few rules. I have no protein or carb requirements. No banned foods. These are what my dr/nut recommend. 2 week liq diet pre-op. if you need to eat anything consider tuna or eggs. High protein low cal foods. No alcohol for one year. No ice cream. Two week full diet post op. followed by puréed foods for two weeks and two weeks of soft foods. Eat your protein first. Have 1/4 protein and 1/4 fruit, veggies or carbs. No calorie counting. -
Would You Have Weight Loss Surgery Again?
skinnywannab replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I had my surgery January 16th with Dr Oritz and I am sooooo pleased! I am down 33 lbs and the surgery has been the answer to my problems! It has controlled my binge eating! My only complaint is that eating out is no fun! Socializing is difficult! Alcoholic beverages are not tolerated at all and since we can't eat and drink at the same time anymore it's awkward at times!! But overall I am very happy! I am in clothes that haven't fit me in years and feeling really good!! -
I was banded a little over a year ago, I've lost over 80 pounds and I am at my goal weight. I also drink wine every evening. I don’t hide this from anyone. I have posted such information several times and when I get PM’d about it I answer honestly. I knew when I decided to get the band that I would have to change my life and I was more than willing to do just that. But, I was not willing to give up my wine. I enjoy wine, I like the taste. My husband & I often go wine tasting at some of the Texas wineries. So, I decided that wine was going to be a part of my lifestyle. From day one (& before) I have enjoyed my evening wine. Yes, the evening of my surgery I had a glass. I count the empty calories (110 calories for 5oz of wine, approximately) and I am careful. I know that wine relaxes the band right along with you. So if you drink too much and the munchies set in…..everything will go down & then some. I am responsible with my wine. I don’t drink for the effect of the alcohol. I drink wine because of the taste. You wonder, does my doctor know? Of course he does, I tell my doctor everything. Hiding information from your doctor only hurts you. My thoughts are this, if you have something you love and you can manage it then you should enjoy it. Make it a part of your plan. I have a friend that has a treat once a week of their favorite fast food meal, and another who has a single serving bag of Cheetos every day. Depriving yourself will not work. If you are anything like me, you will get resentful and end up splurging and hating yourself after. Enjoy your love, just manage it and you will succeed.

March 2013 Post Op "A New Life 2013"
nathaly replied to ElleG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you only have one stick at a time it's not an issue because you'd only get 1 g of sugar alcohol. You'll get dumping when there are 6 or more grams of sugar and sugar alcohols in a serving. HW 283. SW265. SD 3/22/13! CW 244. -
help! wedding! alcohol!
Nicolanz replied to njgrl22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
She didn't ask for suggestions on whether or not to drink alcohol, is the thing. If you think you're adult enough to tell another adult she should abstain from alcohol, "you should be adult enough to handle various feedback." And mature enough to not mock people with your blah blah blahs. -
For those of you that expresses your opinions about whether or not she should drink alcohol please re read her question. She was asking for advice as to WHAT to drink, not IF she should drink. Ladies lets not be the catty girls in the middle school hallways, we're adults now To the OP I would try Skinny Girl Vodka and Water or crystal light.

Nicolanz replied to njgrl22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think she wants to drink alcohol hence her question about alcohol options not alternatives. I'm sure not everyone who drinks a cocktail turns into a drunken mess.
