I m not sure what the side effects that early in would be. You should ask your doctor.. Weight gain or slow eight loss might be one if you drink lots due to that calories?

A month sounds soon to be drinking... I know in Tjuanna, my daughters doctor, told her to avoid excessive drinking and vomiting.

Alcohol is a big NO-NO if you want ur surgery to be a success.. It not only adds calories but will eventually increase the stomach capacity much more than it should go. So be careful, the side effects are what we want to avert and why we chose plication in the first place... I am 14 months out and can say that the possibility of increased capacity in plication is much more than a sleeve. So, the ball is in our and our hands only. We stay careful- we lose; we let ourselves lose- we gain..why would we want something like alcohol to rule our lives, when life can be much better without it..:)

      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.
