Beer and snacking--- did it, but wrong choice



Recommended Posts

I am 2 years post. I have been eating and drinking horrible since the holidays. Drinking 8 to 10 beers twice weekly was a normal thing for me. Of course when you drink you get hungry, so snacking was normal too. I know what I have been doing was no the right choice. Now, I gained 10lbs. I am very upset and plan to get back on tract.

In the last week I started having a burning feeling under my ribs and I burp more then I ever have before. Big burps! I called my dr today and was honest about drinking. He said that I have caused inflammation in my stomach lining and need to start taking Prilosec once a day.

Has anyone been in my position? I need help I know. Did I stretch my tummy? I hope not. Any positive input would be great?

good news

you have lost X amount of weight

you gained 10 lbs, not 11+

you are here looking for help

you are being honest with yourself

admitting you want/need to get back on tract

you have been drinking 8-10 glasses of beer :wacko:

could have been 11+

called doc, now taking prilosec

better news

all the above problems can be fixed

you are ready, willing and able to get back on tract

you are able to go to point A, and drink Protein shakes

i know you can get back in the swing of things :rolleyes:

I am sure being years out it is easy to just try and have a normal life. 8 to 10 beers at once sounds like a lot to me regardless of surgery. Glad you have decided to get back on track which I am sure will get those 10 pounds off soon enough. Take care of yourself and embrace the opportunity to treat yourself kindly. Stick around here for a while, it is very encouraging. Wishing you the best in turning things around.

      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?

      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.
