@@4MRB4PHOTO I take issue with "Simon." This Brooklyn girl finds several of his "You Know You're..." items to be incorrect. One of the more egregious errors is the last. Above all Christmas is The Big Day for hitting the Chinese restaurant.

Shipping or shlepping Bagels back to Peoria? Be sure of the source. Even in NYC some makers steam rather than boil the shaped dough, yielding a mockery that is inauthentic in texture and spirit.

I'll leave it there.

I suggest asking your local Rabbi :D

Also, read this article, it might be helpful.

@@Alex Brecher remember even on Yom Kippur it is acceptable not to fast if it is deemed medically necessary. This counts!

Hi. I'm in Alabama. I had the sleeve but during emergency surgery was converted to rny. (There is no religious forum for rny). Anyway, I'm 10 months out, list 95 lbs. curious about Pesach. Which is better, wine or grape juice? I've never drank 4 CUPS, so it will only be 4 sips. But between that, charoset, and matzoh it's going to be interesting to say the least. Thanks

If you are only going to be having sips instead of cups, you should be fine either route you decide. Isn't Pass Over around August? If you are 10 months now, you'll be well past the year mark by then. The alcohol will not be a risk by that time. It may burn a little like normal alcohol, but not the stinging discomfort of a new patient. And the sugar content of grape juice would not likely cause you dumping syndrome.

I posted your question to a Kosher Gastric Sleeve group and this was the response I received from one of the members:

"When I was a couple weeks out. According to my rav. the 4 cups I had 3 oz cup drank within 3 min if you use that size cup you only need to drink most of the cup.

Matzah you need a kazais within 7 minutes only 1st night. I soaked mine in soup."

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
