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

      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.
