I had Alcohol tonight. I get so drunk so quick now. I'm glad I'm at home and well I had some bubbly so no idea but I'm sure I fell off my diet tonight... and I had a whole box of nerds.

Happy New Year!

@@pinkbunies Well sounds like you enjoyed that! Guess I'll hold off on the vodka and cranberry juice until I can be in a social setting that way I'm sure to make a complete ass of myself and it will be just like old times, nobody will know I had surgery! Since I can't eat in front of people without them asking questions. Now I will just drink! (I'm totally kidding...sorta)Happy New Years!!

LOL. It was also my first carbonated beverage. I was scared. I survived.

I hate people thinking I'm going to eat 5 lbs of food, then they look at me weird when I say I'm full.

Oh I screw with everybody I just don't order anything to eat...and if my hair starts falling out with my weigh loss I'm sure to get sad face's and pampered because I'm almost positive people will assume I have some terminal disease. I shall set up a fund and use the money for plastic surgery! Suckas!!! Believe that! ;)-

My hair is thinning. :( I'm taking Vitamins like crazy and everything else. Damn body changes. I like your idea... people are jerks and will assume. Wonder if this would lead me to larger tips? I could just let people lead the story and let them believe what they want... and then I could get those wrinkles around my eyes removed... I like the way you think.

yeah I've avoided all carbonated beverages. I've also avoided caffeine like the plague but oh I miss it. I love i when the waiter/waitress thinks the food was bad because I couldn't finish it.

Carbonated anything can stretch the stomach. I prefer to stay away from all of it

I avoided alcohol for about 2 months until I was sure my stomach was healed. Now I sip a bourbon and Water and it lasts a long time! No beer no bubbly. Wine tastes like cr*p, Bloody Mary's made from scratch are YUM, don't like the premade mixes, too much salt and pepper. coffee I have drunk since day 1, limited amounts, usually just 1 cup in the morning, sometimes 2.

Alcohol doesn't affect me any differently than pre-op.

But then I've never had more than a single drink since surgery.

Serious question, pinkbunnies -- how many drinks did you have? ;) I'm going to be in a situation in about four weeks where I'll likely have more than one drink. I'd like to know what could happen after that.

I had a sip of White wine at a Christmas lunch and a sip of Pino last night. I usually never drink much pre-op anyway but it's great to have a sip like that hehe.

      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.
