ImLooznit 171 Posted October 15, 2013 Everyone has to do what is right for them, You are the only one responsible for YOU! Just because as my mom used to say, someone jumps off the cliff, does not mean you have to. Rock that sleeve... we did it for our health!

the-Russ 91 Posted October 25, 2013 It always sends off warning bells in my head when I hear things like this. It means that alcohol is pretty important to you' date=' and you may have trouble with it when you can no longer "use" food. Please be aware!! You might blow off this post, and think, "alcohol is not a problem for me." If that is the case, it should not be a problem to give it up.[/quote'] Alcohol is important to us. We are men posting in the men's room. I like to drink and I love beer. I am not ashamed to say that I like beer and not drinking it was a serious consideration when looking into this procedure. I would ask my self, why would I want to give up drinking beer and watching football with the boys. The only answer I could come up with is: 1) this doesn't affect my eyes 2) there is alway Vodka 2 maj0rl0ser and ArcusX reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maj0rl0ser 21 Posted October 25, 2013 I didn't drink during the two week pre-op diet. But I did have one last trip with friends to World of Beers. I love Belgium Trappist ales, so it was my last time to enjoy bottles of Chimay and Rochefort for a long time. I definitely don't plan on giving up drinking forever. That's just crazy talk. Even my doctor told me that eventually I'll be able to drink again, just that I'll be an cheap date since the alcohol will enter my system so much quicker. I'll also only be able to have maybe one drink and have to drink it very slowly. I'm also a fine wine connoisseur and have a decent amount at home. I am not giving up on those bottles since far too much money is invested. Most of the bottles won't reach their peak for a few years, so I've got time on my side. 2 Man Sleeved and skikyd reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man Sleeved 21 Posted October 26, 2013 Stick to your diet like a nun to her vows and you will love the result. I give myself a couple days a month to eat/drink what I want (within the limitations of my sleeve). Down 76lb in 11 weeks. #nuns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skikyd 165 Posted November 4, 2013 My last beer was a sip of beer at Fenway park the night before surgery. Since then I'm am enjoying a whisky when I imbibe. No carbonation.... Fewer ounces. We all know it is the same calorie count either way. About 100 cals 3500 cals = one pound. The big thing to rebember is alcohol is a dis- inhibitor. We sometimes make poor choices, and decisions after drinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
