I know we shouldn't drink, but what is the best thing to drink should the occasion arise? I've had Skinny Girl Margarita & Wine....both still have alot of calories.

Very, very good stuff... Pay for quality not quantity! Fine Australian (of course) dry white wine is my preferred "lapse".

Vodka & cranberry w a twist of lime. ;0)

JJ. Still trying to figure that one out. Carbonated drinks of any type do not agree w me. So it has to be a light juice mixer or white wine. Even though I love red wine.

Vodka, whiskey, tequila....all of these have no carbs. Have them with some low sugar juice...or some flat diet soda. I would stay away from drinking them straight because it can be hard on your sleeve, as well as they will hit you a lot harder now then before surgery. I know the doctors usually say to stay away from them as they can slow down the weight loss, but if you do it occasionally it shouldn't hurt. Just be careful of the possible cross over addiction. It is easy for wls patients to become addicted to other substances after surgery. I know that I drink about once a week...and it hasn't stopped me from reaching my goal. Good luck! And have fun! :)

      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.

        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!
