I'm a bundle of mixed emotions. More calm than I thought I would be but mostly excited to begin this new journey.

I love that these forums help me to feel like I'm not alone.

I can drink beer but slowly, and in a glass. I have had to switch to lower carbonated types. I have a two beer limit. If I drink three, the defenses go down, and I am able to drink faster. But these beers come with a high calorie cost. I have little if any issue with the carbonation but, I drink slow. Can't drink wine, even if I dilute it, it is too boozy for me. Don't like liquor because of mixers calories. Iced tea makes me nauseated. Sometimes ice Water is my best choice!!

Hey everyone! My journey started a little over a month ago when I decided I wasn't wanting to slowly kill myself anymore. I went in for a consultation in Miami Fl on the last Thursday in May and was scheduled for surgery June 24. I was on a liquid diet the entire time and lost 28 pounds. My highest weight was 398 and the morning of surgery I weighed 370. My surgery went very smooth, my pain was controlled well and my only complication was the dry heaving from the anesthesia for a little over 7 hours. None of my incisions hurt anymore, I do however have severe pain above my belly button where they had to stich something down. I've been drinking propel and watered down G2 to keep hydrated and I can't wait to get to the puréed foods so I can have cottage cheese. I don't know why but I've been craving it like crazy. I attend college in Illinois and am hoping I'm healed enough to appear normal seeing as I haven't told anyone and I don't plan on telling anyone that I had the surgery. How much could I expect to lose by Christmas?

I have coffee daily and alcohol sometimes. I am 8 mos out and I still need a daily acid blocker, which lots of people don't need after the first month. When I drink, I don't lose that week. So, you can do it, but there might be tradeoffs.

Ooo, me too. I can't wait for July 7!!!

that's great congratulations looks like lots of us are going in on July 7th and beginning our journey together

July 7th is my surgery date
