Oh man, I feel you but be careful. I am scared to try anything with bubbles.

The carbonation may or may not lead to stretching of the stomach - it is hotly debated. But even if there is a 1% chance it isn't worth it to me. I think this sounds kind of preachy - so feel free to ignore it. But my other thought is that beer just doesn't have nutrition, it has empty calories, and plenty of carbs. Is there anything else that might do as a small treat that is more in keeping with your nutritional goals?

I'm an equal opportunity alcohol consumer..I plan on switching to wine or liquors, in moderation, of course! ;)

I was sleeved 30th July, I have drunk beer for the last month or so, I just pour it into a glass and give it a stir, takes some bubbles out and makes it alot easier to drink, also drink wine n vodka all is fine

i had a beer at about 4 months and it was fine. i've tried liquor and wine since, but oddly, i find that beer agrees with my sleeve more than the others. my beer choices have changed, and i don't do super hoppy beers anymore, and i do let them sit for a minute to reduce the bubbles, but i haven't had any troubles with an occassional beer or two.

I'm 14 months out and carbonation has not stretched my sleeve. I have 2 sparkling waters everyday and 3-4 beers a week. I have no troubles, make goal in less than 9 months and I am easily maintaining now.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
