I was always a big beer drinker. I have drank twice since surgery and didn't like it. I had vodka/cranberry. I am used to being able to handle my liquor-- but I only had a few and got REALLY drunk! I was disappointed because I like to relax and hang out for the evening and I was too drunk to do that. I really don't feel like drinking any more because of that. Maybe I need to find a drink with a very small % of alcohol that won't affect me so quickly.

OMG... I have ONLY been a beer drinker and I will die if I can never drink beer again. I will have to find out if it will ever be ok for me to have one after some time has passed.

I don't remember when, but I do know I stay away from carbonation.

So no more beer, but I now love Malibu, OJ, pineapple and grenadine.

Also a nice Riesling (light white wine) is nice too.

I noticed you like the Malibu (rum). You have to try the coconut Malibu with the V8 Fusion/light. OMG! it is sooooo good.

Time for a bit of a confessional for me.

I had my surgery on a Monday, that Friday I went out and effed up on something that I didn't think I would have issues with.

I had about 6 ounces of dark beer that took me more than an hour to finish.

That night I was pretty bloated in the stomach and couldn't expel gas very easily.

Now I definitely learned my lesson, but I fear that this lesson may have some consequences? Is it possible that could have dislodged the band? I go for my first fill on Sept 15th and I'm just scared I may have already screwed things up :confused:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
