Well, I've really been taking advantage of this wonderful support system. I've asked so many questions and gotten so much help and relieving answers. Thank you.

So now, my next one. I was sleeved last Thursday. In June, literally 2 months from now, is my wedding. What are you all eating 2 months post op? Liquor? Are you able to eat more than 3 bites of something?

Thanks in advance. Appreciate you all

No liquor! Not a wise idea you may hurt your pouch. My doctor say no alcohol ever. Other doctors say 6 months. But as you probably know it would hit you like a ton of bricks. As far as eating i think thats about it.

I would be extreamly cautious of alcohol... its irritating to the stomach and you wont know how you are going to tolerate it especially so soon after surgery.

I know im a debbie downer lol
BUT congrats on your wedding!!!

Congrats on the wedding. I am a little over 4 weeks out and I can only eat 4 oz and I am full.. but I am still on soft foods. Although there is always good food at a wedding, focus on the good times and dancing and you won't miss the food and alcohol. Have fun

My doctor said no alcohol for at least 6 months so I would not personally drink. Maybe they can make you a virgin version of your favorite drink that way you still get the taste and give off the illusion of having a drink if you are not sharing that you had surgery.

As for food I was cleared for a regular diet at 8 weeks but was told to introduce foods slowly and also I was eating a very small amount still. About 3 ounces total. I'm now up to about 5 ounces total.

      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.
