I'm on the other side woo!! The last two days were pretty hard, I have not had anything to drink besides a few drops of juice which was very painful. This is because there was a minor complication during surgery that left the band site exceptionally swollen, they tell me tomorrow should be a lot better.. We shall see. Watching tv in my hospital room has been a nice little vacation, especially with all these meds
I'll post again with an update soon.

Now I know why I feel terrible!! I just started my pre-op diet, and I'm not really feeling hungry as I am just a little strange. My OP is on Oct 14th!! I am so excited. In the diet they only allow 1 cup of green vegetables a day (cucumber, celery and radish are my go to veggies) Does anyone think it would do so much harm if I upped that to a little more? I can't see celery doing much harm and I love to just munch on it while watching tv.

I found this thread so helpful. I'll be honest I was a bit nervous at first when I started reading about people not being able to drink after WLS. I am definitely not an alcoholic, but I am a college student and I enjoy the odd party to relax after midterms or on spring break I am glad to see that most people can still handle some drinks. For all you crystal light and vodka people, Ocean Spray makes a great line of calorie free cranberry juices and cocktails and with vodka they are amazing! FYI My surgery is in 3 weeks and I am stoked!!!
