Summer, beaches and a cold cold beer!!!



Recommended Posts

So here is a thought, I dont drink but I am going away in the summer to the Caribbean and I was thinking laying at the beach and a bartender comes around with a very cold beer. What would u do? I know we are not allowed to drink alcohol so I'm just curious anyone had a beer after surgery and what happened

I would say no thank you- but I might get a differetn sort of drink if I was on vacation and I wanted to have a drink- depending how far post op I was. Beer won't ever be in my future again but I will drink again occasionally at some point farther down the road. It won't be my norm but I am sure I will.

From what I understand, the problem is not just the alcohol, it's the carbonation too. It would probably not be as enjoyable as you might imagine. Get a tropical non-alcoholic fruity drink!

I’m at the beach now I’m 4 months post op and I have drunk a beer or 2 a day I know I shouldn’t 😬 it didn’t hurt me but I am worried about it messing with my pouch. Have fun 😊

I’ve seen mixed views on this. I have had two beers and am 5 mos post op. I had two hard seltzer’s but those bother me cuz they were too carbonated but the beer didn’t. So who knows. Not something I’ll do often

I'm probably a bad patient - I allow myself to drink on vacation (I did at about 6 months out). But I can't handle carbonation or much sugar (no fun fruity drinks :( ). So, I typically order wine or vodka cranberry (heavy on the cran). I can usually only finish about half a glass, but its nice to have a bit.

      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.
