Oh man, I feel you but be careful. I am scared to try anything with bubbles.

The carbonation may or may not lead to stretching of the stomach - it is hotly debated. But even if there is a 1% chance it isn't worth it to me. I think this sounds kind of preachy - so feel free to ignore it. But my other thought is that beer just doesn't have nutrition, it has empty calories, and plenty of carbs. Is there anything else that might do as a small treat that is more in keeping with your nutritional goals?

I'm an equal opportunity alcohol consumer..I plan on switching to wine or liquors, in moderation, of course! ;)

I was sleeved 30th July, I have drunk beer for the last month or so, I just pour it into a glass and give it a stir, takes some bubbles out and makes it alot easier to drink, also drink wine n vodka all is fine

i had a beer at about 4 months and it was fine. i've tried liquor and wine since, but oddly, i find that beer agrees with my sleeve more than the others. my beer choices have changed, and i don't do super hoppy beers anymore, and i do let them sit for a minute to reduce the bubbles, but i haven't had any troubles with an occassional beer or two.

I'm 14 months out and carbonation has not stretched my sleeve. I have 2 sparkling waters everyday and 3-4 beers a week. I have no troubles, make goal in less than 9 months and I am easily maintaining now.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
