Went out tonight for the first time since surgery, 11/26. Had a small vodka cranberry and now Feeling like it was too soon. I barely got a buzz. Lol. I know some docs ok a small glass at like 4 weeks out. Nothing has really bothered my sleeve, not spicy, nothing.

Ugh, anyone else have a drink this soon out?

Yes I have and have had no issues..I had vodka too..its better than wine or anything. For sugar sake. I wouldn't worry too much. I drank at 3 weeks ..one month out and last weekend. No issues..just one or two..no issues. Ask your doc if worried but I've been fine

I used to drink everyday! This has been an adjustment! I guess I feel that one or two every couple months isn't gng to kill me! I just don't want it to be too soon!

Did it burn or anything? I was sleeved 11/26 and have been wondering what a drink would feel like. By burn I mean more than normal lol.

Any bad reaction?

It felt fine! Lol, too good! I had a rum and coke or a glass or two of wine daily. This was a treat! The only thing I'm noticing is if I'm gng to drink anything, ( Water, g2, etc) I have to time it right, bc I need my Protein, so it's all in balance. This is my second WLS, had the band for 4 yrs. this isn't my first rodeo, but this is a good rodeo compared to the band!

Wow, okay.

I was debating whether or not I want to drink at my company party mid January. At the same time, with such little room, I need a drink that packs a punch! Lol.

Still trying to figure it out.

I have been known in the past to drink about a half to 3/4 a gallon of vodka on a crazy night. Not often, one night every 3-4 months. So this should be interesting lol.

Hopefully I don't get crazy drunk off a shot. That would be... Interesting

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
