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...

      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.
