Hi all

3 months out and 70 pounds - now help

Was always told no alcohol in 3 months and now I'm drinking wine - no pouch issues but still struggling to eat but wine is fine - will this affect me?

Wine has no nutritional value , I know every dr is different but when we decided to go the surgical route we were agreeing to a whole new way of life...I'm not saying you should never drink , but you don't want to get caught up in drinking or eating things that will lead to other habits in the past... It's best to wait a year in while utilizing your tool ... I know that their are alot of opinions across the board but I know the main things is to get enough Protein in and drink as much Water as possible so as not to get dehydrated ... ;)

I am hoping never to drink alcohol again because of the calories. My colleagues are frustrated by this development but I prefer being in good health. I would much rather drink a Protein Shake than alcohol.

Don't know if I would say that exactly, but I do prefer fitting in smaller and smaller clothes. Lol

One concern I have about alcohol is my decision making when drinking. I have a very low tolerance to alcohol and have always been a cheap date. :-) I tend to eat when I drink and I'm afraid I would eat the too much or the wrong things and have to suffer the consequences (pain, nausea, vomiting). No thank you!

      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.
