alcoholic beverages

I gave up alcohol in June and I do not miss it one bit! I plan to drink Water and enjoy it! There are SF Torani syrups you can plan to experiment with, and Skinny Free SF mixers. Wine can be diluted with a little Water and ice cubes. So many choices!!!! Happy New Year!

I haven't done any alcohol yet....hoping to try a small glass of wine in a few months. A small amount of most booze is low cal. Don't go crazy. I used to mix booze with crystal light. Yum!

Exactly! Pre-op. I always mixed vodka with a flavored crystal light. Yummy and low cal.

Only 7 weeks out so I will resist. However, diet cranberry (5 calories) and vodka is very low calorie and festive. Happy NewYears!

I'd avoid beer because of the carbs. But I got (accidently) looped on a few glasses on wine on Christmas. My tolerance is WAY LOW!

I had a bout 1/4 of a very small glass of wine at Christmas and was fine. I was told by the Physcologist at my visit that I couldn't drink anymore after one glass that I would be passed out on the floor if I did. I belive if you eat something and wait the thirty min afterwards to drink it you should be ok just don't go crazy amd bing on it.

I haven't missed the alcohol at all! I believe we are clear at my dr office at 3 months in moderation. However, I have pretty much decided I would wait at least 6 months, so this summer I may or may not have libations. On a side note, I went to happy hour at least once a week with my friends, I will probably be going periodically, as I have went to the sports bar this past sunday to watch the Cowboys - ugh, but sticking to unsweetened tea actually has been great, and like i said in the beginning, not missing it at all!

I am 13 Days out and have had a glass of wine a few times already and feel great

I'm a huge wine lover. I'm too scared to have alcohol right now. My doctor said 6wks after I can. I'm 12 days post op.

I have considered it, like New Year's, but since the scale is stuck I am not sabotaging myself for sure! I am on a mission, just 6 weeks out, but wine would be good.

Vodka and crystal light, I like the pomegranate kind. And yes my tolerance is way lower than before so I am a cheap date!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
