My surgeon told me about 4-5 months post op it's safe to have a drink. He recommended MGD 64 for beer since the big concern is consuming calories when you need to use calories to get in your Protein. Also, nothing with carbonation like rum and coke. He also said to be very aware that it will hit you 10x harder than it would before since it'll be released into our blood stream a lot quicker. so just have a drink and make it last all night. at least it'll be a cheap night!

mgd 64 is carbonated, not sure that's a good idea.. I think beer is out.. I stick to shots or mixed drinks.. Deserano and pineapple are good, if I want something a little stronger Vodka and pineapple, cranberry, or orange juice.< /p>

I love a good cosmo provided the bartender knows how to make it right. I'm months away from having one though since I'm just 1 week post op. Oh, Weed and Water (Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea Vodka) might be a good one too. Happy early 21st!

I'm about 7 weeks out now and I've had a glass of wine now and then. I had a Riesling and a sweet red and both went down fine. Didn't feel buzzed from it at all either (heard rumors of becoming a cheap drunk!). I haven't tried hard liquor but I got sick from that before surgery anyways so I'll probably steer clear.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
