I'm 6 weeks out and had a celebratory toast with my fiancé for something last night. I had a glass of White Zinfandel. Tasted great and went down so smoothly! I drank 2 cups of Water to make up for the glass of alcohol though (be careful because alcohol dehydrates you!!)... White Zinfandel has a low sugar and calorie count so you should be safe. Outside of wine, I was just going to ask for vodka and Water with a lemon and line for flavor. I want with wine instead! Lol

Why do you associate celebrating with drinking (and food). We did an incredible thing for US. Now continue and don't put poison in your body. Celebrate with healthy things!! Congrats on a tough job well done!!

I don't see anything wrong with having a drink or two once in awhile. I like a top shelf vodka on ice with a lime. I've also had a glass of wine here and there. I always drink lots of Water. Have fun. I would avoid mixers... They can be loaded with sugars.

From LowCarbsRUs i ordered sugar free PinaColada, Sugarfree SweetNSour, SugarFree MaiTai. add your booze - i am diabetic.

Also CrystalLight and GreatValue(walmart) have some drinks that work great - Lime GV with vodka is good.

I sound like i drink a lot but its maybe once or twice a month. Presurgery.

I was told no alcohol for a year. Our livers are working overtime to clear toxins that are released with quick weight loss. Alcohol on top of that can cause liver failure. So I was told by my team...

I would caution you to talk to your doctor first. If your doctor has no problem with it, then by all means, Celebrate. If they say no, listen. They have reasons for the restrictions they give. Personally, I think it's not worth the risk...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
