Thanks! I'm planning on not drinking to much and staying away from sugar. And just in case I can't handle it I'm gonna be at a friends house so if I feel sick I'm home and not out.

When did everyone start drinking? And when you did what was it. I've heard since you should stay away from the fizzy stuff drink wine or an idea I also heard was diet snapple mixed with vodka. I am just curious because I'm young and want to be doing what my other friends are out doing. Plus my 21st birthday is in September ;)

This is a concern for me as well. Im havkg the RNY hopefully in July/August. I'm 24; a social drinker, my circle of friends and I do enjoy going out once in a while and having a few drinks. I actually enjoy kicking back every now and again with a few. I don't have a problem giving up mixers and doing vodka waters. What experience has people has with beer? I love beer but of that's an absolute no no...I can give it up.

I started drinking at 7 months. I really only drink half of whatever I drink I feel buzzed rather fast and drink Water for a long time after. I also feel normal in like 30-40 minutes. Hubby calls me cheat date. Kinda not worth it.

What have you tried. I've tried white wine, but would like something else.

I have had whisky sours and skinny margaritas (less sugar). I also tried warm sake but that got me buzzed very quick. I don't think I'll be doing that again.

I'm really afraid to have any alcohol. I do not like being sick so I don't experiment. There r times I'm out and want to have a drink, but I don't.

I understand being young and wanting to have fun. I'm soooooo glad I got the partying out of my system when I was young.

Be safe whatever u decide!!! (HUGS)

Ate those in the skinny girl brand?? I used to drink the skinny girl margaritas. They come all mixed up. Haven't touched alcohol in about a year.... I seldom have a drink but would love a skinny girl margarita when my 6 months comes... Just one drink but I'm afraid of the dumping... So anyone who dumps to sugar please let me know if this is a tolerable drink !!!

      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.
