I have a brewery I want to hit before I have my surgery. That is going to be my last alcohol for quite a long time. They have the most amazing Bourbon barrel aged beers there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wine is technically liquid.

I would not insist on the sleeve. I have had nothing but complications, and my weight loss has stopped after I lost 26 pounds. I wish I had insisted on the RNY!

I'm getting ready for my liquid stage after my RNY, and with past experience on Protein powders, Summer better than others and I've heard very good things on the Inspire Protein powder so I can't wait to try that. I'll let you gals know how they taste when I get them next week

Well I first had the lap band which only lasted under two years because it gave me terrible acid and I was told there was a Rosian so my band is taken out, because I had problems with acid I should've gone to the RN why but my surgeon converted me to the VSG. After the VSG I had terrible issues with eating it took almost 6 months just to get out of mushy stage. And I've had problems ever since. Life has been very hard when it comes to eating I could just literally open my mouth after eating and my food comes out. So if you'd like my advice I think you should take your doctors recommendation and do the RNY. Avoid all the problems that I've had and many of us here

I had my sleeve for over 3 years. It took me almost 5 months to be able to eat mushy foods. Then I had a stricture I had an endoscopy next and I was told last year that I had Barrett's esophagus. Not nice, so I'm looking forward to the RNY. I'll be praying for everyone here for a speedy and easy recovery let's all keep in touch

With the VSG you can have anti inflammatory meds

Surgery yesterday. Feeling much better than expected. I think Stage 1 bariatic diet is harder than fasting but the nurses know their stuff so that's good. Good luck to those lined up.

I am getting sleeved on 10/5 (4 days!?!). I have lost 20lbs on the preop diet. I am lucky because my husband is very supportive, and getting sleeved himself a month or so after me.

Peeps do it all the time, plus this site supports it. I personally went to Med school in Tijuana, and bed side manners and care are better than most places in the US. You will be great.

I forgot the original post said 3 weeks out. I'm farther than that. At 3 weeks I couldn't have anything on this plate.

That's true! As far as a taco, at three weeks, I would have been allowed refried beans, sour cream, and a pinch of cheese'. I would have been able to get down about 2 tblspns max. I wasn't allowed veggies until week 6 and that did NOT include lettuce. No nutritional value and takes up valuable real estate.

No way that'd fly with my Nut/surgeon. At 3 weeks lettuce, Tomato, and jalapeños are not allowed, and the turkey needs to be pureed, not just ground. I wish... I am hoping for refried Beans, but they might think they are too gassy. Sigh.

My surgery is October 4th. I've been on the liquids for a week and at the moment I am starving. My Nut told me it is ok to have low carb vegetables and bouillon so I made a pureed veggie Soup which I use in those moments when I need to eat or I'm going to loose it. It has helped me stay on plan...I'm dropping weight to so that is good. I couldn't take it if it was just the sweet shakes all day long. I may go out and try to find sugar free Popsicles just so I can have something to chew on.
