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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
