Defensive much?

When posting on a public forum you're going to get public opinion. That's kind of a given. If that bothers you' date=' you may want to rethink posting the questions you're obviously sensitive about.[/quote']

Blah' date=' blah, blah.

No one attacked anyone. No one attempted to interfere with anyone's rights. No one judged anyone. Suggestions were offered, at her request. If someone doesn't want suggestions, don't post it publicly.

If you're old enough to drink then you should be old enough to handle various feedback and make your own decision... Without whining about the opinions you don't like.

Oh to the op, it looks like you got some good suggestions.. The only thing I could add is when drinking the first time go slow.. It really made me flush and sweaty when I drank more than a few sips.. It's hard to explain but it made me feel like crap for a few minutes and scared me a bit.

Add PMSing too. Not my best moment, I will own that.

My apologies for the "blah blah blah" part of the comment. In the future I will leave such comments in my head.

I like to drink "Dirty Shirleys" It is Vodka, Sprite, Grenadine and Lime juice,

If made correctly there is VERY little carbonation bc the soda is diliuted so much with the grenadine, lime juice and vodka... I use sprite zero in mine...

I am in my sister's wedding in May and I was wondering what to drink... By choice I drink Red Wine regularly but I hate to drink it when I go out and there could be pictures involved bc I HATE the purple tinge to my teeth... I was so happy when someone introduced me to the dirty shirley, the first time I had it was in NYC when we saw Chicago last month it was the Theater's featured drink for the show :)

I'm almost 5 months postop and had my first drink last night (vodka and cranberry with lime). Like a poster above stated to drink it slow and see how you do. Definitely do that. I too got flushed very quickly and had body sweats. It was very strange and I did drink it slowly. Good luck and have fun at the wedding!

I would suggest you consider skipping alcohol all together or get something like a vodka and cran with lime.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
