Isn't booze a no go for 6 months?

It depends upon your surgeon's philosophy on such things. Advice varies from a few weeks post-op to never again. My doc's take on it is none during weight loss as it imposes an additional unnecessary stress on the liver.

I heard Scotch has the least carbs, isn't generally mixed with anything but Water or soda water, is much easier to slowly sip because of the taste, and you are more apt to drink far less. I, of course, can't stand the stuff!

If your at a stage that your doctor approves of drinks, Vodka and Crystal Light is one of the best options. Vodka has 65 calories per ounce.

Being a diabetic before surgery, I was told clear Rum is the best for calories and carbs, and I generally drink it with Crystal Light. Be very careful and be safe when drinking, as it affects you differently than before surgery.

Clear rum? I was told the opposite because isn't it made from sugar cane? I guess I'll Google that!

I drink red wine at home. When out, I'll order a shot of vodka, a glass of ice Water, and I'll add my own Lemonade Mio to it. Delish!

      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.
