I know you can not drink 30 minutes before and after a meal. How do you pace this say... at a resturaunt and you want to join in on a glass of wine?? Just wondering??

I'm probably gonna get beaten up for saying this, but I don't follow those rules. I had to at first because there simply wasn't room for liquids AND food, but now that I'm almost 10 months out and at goal, I don't even think about it anymore. I never did drink with meals, maybe just a sip of Water here and there at most. I still don't. But I pay no attention at all to when I drink fluids in relation to when I eat.

Having said that, newly sleeved folks really should abide by the rules.

I am 17 weeks, not a long timer but I don't drink after and during a meal. This means no wine with dinner. I do drink before I eat and have no problems with that(I find that all fluids run right through my stomach).

I have my wine or drink before my meal. Early out I would stick to nothing 30 minutes before, but now have no problems drinking right up to eating. I would suggest not drinking more than a sip or two while eating or right after. This still hurts my stomach and could flush out the food faster.

Thanks... I often, in the past, liked to go out dinner and afterwards chat with friends over a good glass of wine. I have my surgery tomorrow and I was thinking about that. Super duper excited and ready. Been on 2 week clear liquid 3x a day Protein Drink. Today is my last day before surgery and I know that I will be on liquids for another 5 weeks. So, I am looking forward to a nice dinner and a cup of wine... Lol :) Thanks for your input

I don't order a beverage unless I'm really thirsty, and tehn i try to drink it before my meal comes. If I want wine, I order it, but I really only can sip it if there is food in my stomach because I get full too fast or I won't be able to eat as much.

Last time we went out, I wanted a glass of wine, so I got an appetizer for my food. It's usually a shrimp cocktail, mussels/clams or a crab cake.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
