I had a couple of glasses of wine last week - 6 1/2 weeks post op. although no problem that evening I suffered from the worst acid reflux for the next 2 days. The day after I was in pain, sick twice and couldn't face any food. I won't be trying it again for a while!

I had a drink at 6 weeks out. No issues what so ever. The tipsiness is different though. I would be buzzed, then sober, then buzzed then sober... It was fun lol

my co-worker had a few drinks the other night and said that she was buzzed almost immediatly but did not last long. I have heard the same from friends that had RNY. I am afraid to try anything with acid reflux problems.

      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.
