padlrd replied to OleHippieGal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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.

What ya eating tonight?
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.

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. -

AmandaRaeLeo replied to njgrl22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This may seem like a dumb question but... Why do you have to drink alcohol at all? -
I need to figure out what I should drink at my brothers wedding. Suffer from acid reflux and of course can't have carbonation. The wine kills me, tried that already. Also unsure about beer due to the hops. Please help

So how long after surgery did you have your 1st alcoholic drink? What did you start with? Beer,wine,etc

My insensitive coworker
rebecca_dsu replied to SeriouslyChange's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don't know how you feel about confrontation, or how much you see these gals, but if it were me, I'd speak my feelings at some point (better than eating them). A conversation when the time is right along the lines of "Hey, remember the other day when we were talking about weight an you made the comment about how I must of had been eating constantly to get up to 330 lbs, etc... well I need to say that that really hurt my feelings. I was dealing with a lot of stuff in my life, and food became my way to cope, just as some use alcohol and drugs. It was a ruff patch in my life. But your words really hurt me." Now she might respond rudely, or maybe, just maybe she'll apologize. Either way, you will have spoken your feelings, and that does lead to healing and keeps us from bottling that stuff up, and eating our emotions. Just be "REAL". I think this world would be a much better place if we all were. Sorry you had your feelings hurt. -

ttisawsm replied to ttisawsm's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've really been focused on my diet bc is easier now. Fish chicken veg and fruit is basically all I eat. Gym so much and no no sugar are carbs. I will admit I've smoked a few cigs because I've cracked but I'm good now. so no cigs and Alcohol. not drinking was the hardest for me. Follow what the dr says and u will be good take all your protein I take 80g a day calcium, multi vitamin and b12 -
My husband has recently stopped drinking pops and the other day he said at moments he still had cravings and I told him, with almost everything that there is a study showing its bad for you theres another study showing it can be good for you (alcohol, coffee, etc..) but there are no studies that I know of that says pop is good for you even in moderation. I don't want to put anything bad in my body anymore :wub: . thats why my husband and I dont anymore, but everyone has to do whats best for them. Good luck!

cant wait I respectfully say that you must /should work on stopping drinking now - before surgery!!!! I'm sure you are not an alcoholic, but.......... IMO i would listen to what the dr. said - he is looking out for you after surgery you will have a lot to deal with its great that you've been diligent with your food - already loosing 45 lbs!!! good job!!!! keeping in control of food and drinking Water PO, can be/ is hard enough for many/most dealing with your alcohol at the same time would be extremely difficult kindof like a smoker all of a sudden going cold turkey immediately PO take care of any and all problems first, before surgery IMO having to put off WLS for a bit, i agree what a bummer you have your whole new life in front of you but you should/need to improve your health so once you have WLS - your health will only get better and better with weight loss whatever you decide - i wish you well good luck with everything

Drinking alcohol during pre-op
everydayigiveitmybest replied to Connie26's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love to drink but alcohol causes fatty liver disease. Being overweight causes fatty liver disease. If u r trying to shrink your liver pre op probably not a good idea. I have given up everything for this preop diet and after my class I didn't wait u til two weeks before my surgery. I started my pre op diet early as to shrink my liver to the best of my ability. Lol I've dreamt of martinis in the beginning and last night cake. Woke up with guilt over that. Couldn't imagine if I had a drink for real. Good luck -

Drinking alcohol during pre-op
Flowering man replied to Connie26's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a 3 day interview in Spain (I live in the UK) in the middle of my 2 week pre op diet. As it was basically a 3 day interview, i didn't want to arouse suspicions by not eating the amazing spanish food and the great spanish wines. so i I was allowed to revert back to a normal diet and drink a few glasses if wine. I didn't go overboard and reverted back to the pre op diet as soon as I could. The pre op is to shrink the liver but you can also loose shed loads of weight so I would say if you don't need to drink alcohol during the pre op diet don't. Rather than seeing the pre op diet as a pain I would recommend it as seeing it as a great kick start to your new life
