My doctor said one month. I went 3 weeks and had a glass of wine with my friends. No problems but it is empty calories.

I was told a year by my nut. I've been secretly having a little wine though

My doctor said 1 month out. I had 3 glasses of wine 2 months out and was fine

Is that all at once? With the sleeve, 3 will probably cause pretty severe intoxication. Heck, one glass of wine makes us drunk.

I had 1 glass of champagne at 4 months and it made me so sick, and it tasted like vinegar. Haven't touched anything since.

One glass of wine does not get me drunk. 3 shots of whiskey though does the trick

I had a vodka cranberry last weekend and didn't get sick or even tipsy. It seems like some people get drunk faster and some ppl it isn't any different than before surgery. For me it's the latter...so unfortunately I'm not as cheap of a date as I wanted!

What about a pint of Guinness? Or two? Anyone know impact? Have not tried any beer post sleeve yet and maybe Guinness is too bubbly.

I experimented at about 7 mos preop. I used to enjoy beer- not so much now. It just doesn't taste good. I stick to patron gold. I get buzzed pretty quick, but I rebound quickly. I tried a margarita while out with the girls and it was too much. I felt sick. So, I stick to my old reliable- TEQUILA! ;)

I used to enjoy apple martinis on business trips. Those were really good. I am not much of a drinker since being sleeved, but it is nice to only need one.

      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.
