When I was 15, it was a cheap nasty Genny Cream Ale :ph34r: :P

I had mine about four weeks after surgery, and it was just a sip! It seriously burns my stomach and goes right through me. It is awkward going to bars and your friends and bartender asking, "Oh, you don't like your drink? You've barely touched it!!". I cannot throw them back like I used to. There's no room, and my tolerance has become soooo low!

Seriously though I'm not much of a drinker. So if and or when I do have anything it will probably be a gin and cranberry or something similar.

Ohhhh. You mean in general! Haha sorry! Mine was at 17. I'm not condoning underaged drinking by any means, but whenever I did until I was 21, it was either at my house, NOT on the road, or at a trusted friend's parents house. The mindset was that at least if we were going to drink, we'd be supervised and not out where no one knew where to find us. Also, parents never provided it to us. That was up to our finding.

Nah I'm pretty sure the original poster means post sleeve. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to be a smart ass lol.

I had a sip or two of wine about 6 weeks post sleeve, and a full drink (vodka cranberry) about 3 months post-sleeve, but I am not much of a drinker!

Doesn't beer bloat you? I love the smell but am to chicken to even take a sip! I use to drink 8 to 10 beers when I would go out. Maybe 1 day, our block party is in a month so maybe I will splurge then if I have past my losing goal!

nope! I drink about 3 sparking waters a day as well. Carbonation doesn't bother me a bit.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
