I'm about 7 weeks post op. just had 1st fill. Can I have a couple beers tonight? I haven't had a beer in months & I can live without it but the guys are coming over tonight & I thought I'd sip on a couple if it wasn't gonna mess me up too bad. What do y'all think?

Are you going to drink flat beer?? Drinking carbonation is risky at any stage but especially early on.

Try some wine or maybe a vodka, Water and cranberry..I know it's not manly but you could ri se out an old beer bottle.....and use it....

Have fun... Remember it's not all about eating and drinking . Is about the fun and friends...

Yeah... I'd do vodka and cranberry or OJ... although my doctor says carbonation is ok every once ina while, it still freaks me out.

I loooove to drink socially, and I will either do wine or vodka. Have Fun with ur guys!!!!

I've been banded just over 6 years.

I was told no carbonated beverages.

I've tired diet pop a beer a couple of times... each time I thought I was going to die...the pain was not worth it. I won't be trying the again.

Another contrarian point of view. I've drank beer from day 31 on. Only one of course. Seems like one fills me up much more than pre surgery. Now, on occasion, I've drank two, but hours apart. Seems like Corona is flatter than miller lite or most domestic beers.

Chugging is out of the question. I think the reason why they want you to avoid carbonation is the fizz can expand your pouch and could be very painful. If you do break the rules, do it very slowly. Sip like you're a 13 year old girl having your first beer.

Be very careful if you had a fill in the last 2 days. Take it easy and stay safe out there.

I was wondering the something about Beer and Diet Coke. I get banded Dec 18 and looking forward to it. I will try and enjoy the company with no alcohol knowing what the outcome of being healthy will be.

      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.
