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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
