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.

      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.
