So my NUT said it would be OK to try a glass of wine, and I did that a couple of weeks ago when we went to a fancy restaurant with some friends. I had one glass before dinner and felt nothing out of the ordinary. Yay, I can drink wine again, I thought. But I went to dinner with my husband tonight and had a glass of wine on a virtually empty stomach. OMG, I am spinning and feeling like I had several glasses! So beware, those of you who like a glass of wine now and again - you will be a very cheap date if you do it on an empty stomach! ????

Good warning.

About 4months post op I had t

the tiniest glass of wine at my sister's 40th wedding anniversary...oh it burned!

Later, after getting to goal, I allowed alcohol as a social treat. I made a mistake one night, opened a nice red to have and essentially blacked out on 2 glasses. Yeah , I forgot to eat.

I am 4 years post op and do drink socially but the key is food. Empty baby tummy plus booze is a bad idea!!

      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.
