Ok confession time - who "fell off the wagon" during the holidays?

I really don't think a couple of shots of rum will hurt you for a special occassion like new years. Although you will have to let us know how it does affect your stomach.

I just am looking forward to next week getting back to be able to have solids. Sure a very small amount and have to chew chew chew but still back to real foods. LOL

My doctor allows sodas that aren't flat. He says the carbonation thing is a myth. Your stomach is a strong muscle.. bubbles aren't going to burst it. He also said I could drink wine. Didn't ask about beer though since blech and I was a mountain dew drinker before.. so diet soda tastes gross to me anyway.

I discovered Isopure today since I'm at work and there's a Vitamin world nearby and I wanted to buy some chewable Vitamins. It's pretty cool. Tastes like jolly ranchers. MUCH better then the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shakes. I'm soooo sick of them.

It's funny how this goes back to differing doctors and differing opinions. For me, I am not going to chance it.

I agree I don't want to even test the soda. Although my doctor says I can drink flat soda if I wan't but that doesn't sound good. Jokingly he said that I could have a carbonated soda if I wanted but I probably won't want one ever again because you get really gassy. I had some wine on xmas though and it went down fine.

Well, a pre-new years eve confession - I am going to have a couple of shots of Cruzan coconut rum. One of my employees gave me a bottle - wife and I are going to enjoy ourselves without going overboard.

IMPORTANT NEWS FLASH!

Wife and I just had a shot of Cruzan Coconut Rum - WOW - HOLY COW - I've NEVER had this much of a buzz of of just one shot! I can feel it down in my TOES! SO CAN SHE!

Stomach is doing good though! No issues!

Makes for a cheap holiday buzz!

Hey, everyone, seriously, have a wonderful New Year and I look forward to being side by side with all of you for a long time to come!

I have been wondering if alcohol would effect us differently now, kind of sounds like it will. Thanks for the info.

I did fall of the wagon a bit at Christmas, but I am NOT one bit guilty! It was Christmas! My downfall was eating between meals, Snacks (cookies, pies, etc). Now in saying that I had not even a fourth of what I used to eat, so I still consider that a success! My theory is that I still have to live my life, and at certain times I am going to have a cookie in between meals. As long as I have one cookie on occasion, and not the entire bag I consider that a success! I only lost 1/2 lb Christmas week, but that is still a loss :tongue2:!

I hope 2009 has been great for everyone so far!

O.K sooooo I totally cheated on new years....Or so I thought...I had thin crust Tomato pizza, about 10 chocolate covered raisins AND ice cream.:thumbup:..I didn't care I was cheating on purpose I thought I was going whole hog it was sooo good I felt pretty smug with myself ....so when I went and entered every thing in my food log for that day I was SHOCKED :scared2:that I hadn't really cheated I had only eaten 1,210 calories, 108 carbs, 81 grams of fat and 81 grams of protein.....yeah my carbs and fat were higher than I like but still not that bad (I even lost 2 pounds since)....THAT SAID...I don't plan on cheating again any time soon..I plan on eating the healthy way I have since I got banded!!

But let me say this loud and clear I LOVE MY BAND!:thumbup:

      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.
