How well does everyone post op do with the drinking of alcohol? I know you can't drink it all the time because it inhibits weight loss but is once in a while okay? How does everyone feel when they do drink? Does it burn?:)

I have had the occasional drink. Sometimes it goes down ok and sometimes it does burn a bit. Only have to have one glass of wine though and that's enough. It always weakens my resolve though and makes me want to snack so I try to avoid it although I had a big row with my husband last night and drank more than I should have and feel rotten today. It's best to limit it in my opinion and enjoy occasionally.

I've never been a big drinker - however we were on a cruise last week and I decided to get a drink one evening -- it burned all the way down - I thought - probably just the first drink - so I had another - same result - then I added some Water to it - didn't help - I gave up. I had the same results with some "rum punch" on one of our excursions - one sip and that was it! Guess drinking is off the list for me entirely now - which doesn't bother me all that much as it's just wasted calories anyway.

I get drunk much easier than I used (and I used to get drunk VERY easily). It's hard to hit that "mellow" spot. I'm either sober or slurring my words.

It doesn't burn any more than it used to though.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
