Yes I did! Dr. O'Malley. I'm 3 months post op. It's been a wonderful experience for me start to finish. You?

Yes!!! Dr. O'malley! I'm four weeks out this Tuesday. Mine has been wonderful as well! No problems. I'm still on puréed and am looking forward to the next diet menu. How wonderful for you to be at 3 months. I'm loving the exercise I just feel malnourished on the puréed plan lol..

I love my wine and had a very small glass about 3 months post op. I love to have a glass of wine with dinner and do most nights. I have also had a couple of screwdrivers when out, the alcohol effects me no different from pre op to post op, the only thing that is different is the slight buzz does not last as long. Pre surgery I drank 6-7 diet pepsi's a day, after surgery I stopped cold turkey. About 3-4 wks post op I was putting those flavor packets of lipton diet teas and have been using them ever since. I don't think they have much caffene in them at all. i do have a few sips of diet soda every once in a while but it all tastes like chemicals to me.

I used to LOVE coffee and I also love wine. I can't stand coffee or diet coke now. Coke taste like chemicals and I can't even describe the terrible taste of coffee.

My doc said I'm just not supposed to drink ever. I do terribly miss a glass if wine w dinner. I just wonder if I'm not gonna hate it too?

I can smell everything now. My sense of smell is crazy.

I agree, everything in moderation.

When I first had my op I could not stand the smell of coffee especially if the cup had not been moved when finished. Am able to drink it now but when finished I have to put the cup in the sink and put some Water in it. I suspect wine will first taste bitter but again in moderation will be how you remembered it.

Does anyone know what the big deal is about caffeine? I can see in excess but a cup or two of coffee or tea a day? Why not?

At least initially caffeine is a diuretic and can easily dehydrate you. It is usually a task for new bypass patients to get all their liquids in so adding caffeine which will dehydrate you will just add problems. Also it can be an irritant to your new pouch. Try and wait as long as you can before adding coffee back in to your diet and check with your surgeon. Mine doesn't want us to drink it because of dehydration issues.

      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.
