My surgeon told me about 4-5 months post op it's safe to have a drink. He recommended MGD 64 for beer since the big concern is consuming calories when you need to use calories to get in your Protein. Also, nothing with carbonation like rum and coke. He also said to be very aware that it will hit you 10x harder than it would before since it'll be released into our blood stream a lot quicker. so just have a drink and make it last all night. at least it'll be a cheap night!

mgd 64 is carbonated, not sure that's a good idea.. I think beer is out.. I stick to shots or mixed drinks.. Deserano and pineapple are good, if I want something a little stronger Vodka and pineapple, cranberry, or orange juice.< /p>

I love a good cosmo provided the bartender knows how to make it right. I'm months away from having one though since I'm just 1 week post op. Oh, Weed and Water (Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea Vodka) might be a good one too. Happy early 21st!

I'm about 7 weeks out now and I've had a glass of wine now and then. I had a Riesling and a sweet red and both went down fine. Didn't feel buzzed from it at all either (heard rumors of becoming a cheap drunk!). I haven't tried hard liquor but I got sick from that before surgery anyways so I'll probably steer clear.

      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!
