My dr allows you to have small amounts of alcohol 12-18 months out I was just wondering if after the surgery does a little go a long way does it in fact make you a "cheap date"?

drinks go to your head a lot faster. When you first have a drink make sure you are at home with someone you trust.

So nothing will change for me. I was always a cheap date being on 11 different Med's befor surgery alcohol was almost nonexistent 1 beer was like a six pack (great way to save money on booze) no fun at a bar

Have at it just please don't drink and drive.

My right leg still hurts from time to time thinking about the drunk driver that ran me down and drove off. Took almost a year & (6 surgerys) for me to heal and learn how to walk again with my right leg

DRINK but DONT DRIVE

It's strange how sensitive I am to the tinyest bit of sugar. But my favorite thing to drink is hard cidar. I prefer the sweeter kinds. It had 19g of sugar per bottle. Not a single problem. I'm thinking it just hits differently. But I thought I was going to be billy badass and drink three in a row. I was smashed!!! Stayed so for about an hour, then I had a hangover from hell. It hits fast and wears off just as fast.

Doctors often quote a ratio of 3 to 1. One drink post-op is like three pre-op. Be careful. There are some horror stories out there about bypass patients getting a DUI after one drink. If you're going to have even one drink, definitely best to give your keys to someone else.

Nah I'm a way more boring 21 year old. I'm so lame that on my 21st (8/6) I went bowling and had a glass of wine and didn't even get drunk.

      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.
