I hear ya. My family drinks, parties, dances all night long when we get togeather. It's so much fun because we don't see each other often, we r meeting in new orleans but I'm not drinking. I'm going to have to find a way to hide it (LOL) but I don't want it, I still take medication and I don't want to get sick. I'm going to carry a drink enhancer. Slide to the bar get some Water then reach in my purse and turn it some fruity color and flavor. LOL I'm just going to have to enjoy life without it, Heck it won't kill me LOL

Good Luck :)

I love my beer and wine too I'm worried as well but I'm willing to give it up.... for awhile and maybe not add much as I do now.

You will be able to have them again in moderation. It takes much less to get tipsy....so I find my Wien more enjoyable now :)

      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.
