Hey everyone, so I'm feeling pretty stupid this morning, I went out drinking last night, didn't have a huge amount, never drank if I started to feel sick so I thought I was completely fine but I woke up this morning and felt really sick, tried to keep it down for ages until i eventually couldn't hold back nd I threw up :( it was just once but seeing as my op wasn't very long ago I'm worieworries, but my stomach feels fine, what should I do?

I was told not to drink for 6 months. Tough love but I am pretty sure that drinking is not on your 3 week dr's orders. I would be concerned at vomiting 3 weeks out, you are not healed inside. I would give your dr's office a call to see if they are concerned.

You are most likely fine but I hope you will stay away from alcohol for a while. It's wasted calories and just isn't worth the effort. Drinking 2 drinks is most likely over a third of what your calorie intake is for a whole day.

That said if you experience any pain over the weekend I would call the dr right away.

Thanks everyone, i'm feeling fine at the moment, the doctor isn't open over the weekend so i can't call anyway, but if I do feel like something's wrong I won't hesitate to call someone.

Yes will definitely limit my alcohol intake, I was planning on it anyway, only to drink occasionally :)

      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.
