Recommended Posts

Ok i recently ditched my ex boyfriend .. moved out (he wasnt supportive of my surgery or my weightloss) and decided to restart my life .. So i decided to do a little drinking. Now i didn't throw up or anything but my little stomach is very tender and when i move it hurts.. I have no idea why it feels like this. I want to eat as well but What should i eat when feeling like this? Please help me out bandsters!

Sorry for you. Hard lesson to learn. I hear that alcohol absorbs faster through the smaller stomach. Which also means closer to alcohol posioning (non doctor opinion). Drink plenty of Water to help fllush your system. Try eating some low sodium crackers. Hope it helps. Time is the great healer. Best Wishes!

I did that last weekend, the drinking part. Your body may just be sore from the night of drinking. My whole body was hurting sunday and am still swollen :sad: Just like the previous post, flush it out with Water. Good job not throwing up!!! I was borderline also. I hate that!!!! Good luck!

I went on a 5-day all inclusive vacation last week and was able to tolerate quite a bit of alchol. I talked to my doc about it Monday and he said it's usually no problem to drink, but he doesn't recommend it because of the calories. I actually gained 3 lbs during the vacation, but quickly lost it once I got back to a regular schedule :sad:

Alcohol absorption isn't affected by the band. It is still metabolized the same. With gastric bypass, it is different and those patients get drunk faster.

I don't consume alcohol near as much as I used to, so I feel it much sooner these days as a result.

If you had beer, it could be that the carbonation is what bothered you.

When my stomach is tender, I like to do liquids and mushies to just give it a break for a while until it is feeling better.

Like others have said, drink lots of fluids!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
