Alcohol is fine by my nutritionist and surgeon but of course in moderation.

I am a cheap date since surgery. I can tolerate some white wine. I drink wine if I am having a drink. I did have a nice Amarato on ice a couple weeks back. I am 3 years out, so if you drink, make sure that you are careful of the amounts. My son, who had surgery in Aug 2011, drank for Christmas party last year and got totally blasted on a small amount. Best wishes for the upcoming holidays. Karen

Take it slow. It hit me hard the time I tried, but then I have always been a cheap drunk. One glass of wine makes me go woowoo! I decided it was wasted calories that I could use on something better for me

I enjoy a glass of wine every night, have since day one. I also have 1 apple martini every Sunday evening, its my weekly treat. I do count the calories. It works for me.

How soon after surgery is it safe to have a drink?

My dr said 3 months to make sure everything is healed. But when you do induldge just make sure to stay away from the carbonation and count the calories. ;)

      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.
