I had surgery on 2/10 and went on an 8 day cruise 5 weeks later. Parrot Head Cruise 2009, 500 Jimmy Buffett fans on a cruise that raises money for breast cancer research ... Key words there are "Parrot Head". Yeah, I drank. No problems at all. Now, I only lost 2 pounds that week, the extra calories in drinks do add up.....

I'm impressed that you were able to lose 2 pounds while on a cruise.

I love margaritas and I do indulge from time to time. However, it seems all I have to do is look at a margarita and I gain weight.

Please Cathy, tell me your secret:drool:

I forget the exact number of days, but it was while I was still on the liquids phase. It was totally fine.

Only thing is. . just be sure not to overdo it. You do NOT want to be hungover to the point of throwing up. Other than that, most people are fine to enjoy in moderation! :wink2:

Cheers!

I was allowed to drink while on post op liquid phase. I asked in my 1 week post op and they said you can drink now. Again i didn't want to overdo it just had a glass of wine being that I haven't had food in 4 weeks!

They also tell us that we can drink some alcohol before dinner to help relax things.

      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.
