Need encouragement! With Beer



Recommended Posts

Okay so to be honest I have always loved my Budweiser Beer ( Micheladas) I used to could put down maybe a 6 pack -12 pack a day. Thought it would be harder after I had surgery to consume . Not the fact . Anyways .. I crave THE TASTE of the beer .ive lost 35 pounds already but notice that my beer belly has started to pooch out again! I drink like 2 a day so nothing drastic!! But I do need some encouragement . Thanks

And NO Negative Nancy's PLEASE !!!!

I am a beer girl at heart! Grew up in Germany. I haven't tried it since surgery. You can drink it with no issues?

Sorry that wasn't really encouragement maybe cut down to 2 a week until goal instead of 2 a day. Save it for a treat day.

Estoy de acuerdo..... My belly is not the issue it would be my hips and ass! Maybe if I was perfect I could tell you not to drink beer, but I don't even claim to be perfect. I do my best on this journey......I believe everything in moderation.

I just heard on tv yesterday that a study showed that beer doesn't cause beer bellies!

Of course you'll never guess who did the study.. Some huge world wide beer company! LOL, I can't remember which one, but it cracked me up :)

I know what you mean about wanting it though. I used to have a couple glasses of wine with dinner and miss it.

Wow that's interesting .. It sure feels like it did ! Im the same amount weight , maybe it's just the bloating from yeast in the beer.

Maybe your beer belly is in a stall? You should try upping your beer consumption from 2 a day to 3 a day!

I like small craft beers and ciders. I developed a real love of ciders while in Spain. I have had anything carbonated since being sleeved.

      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.
