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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
