Be honest did any one have one last beer or two while on the pre-op diet?

yes but not right before. It was like 2 weeks before. :wub:

I just know I will be tempted while sitting at an airport for several hours after getting off of work for 3 weeks stright. Its going to be a challenge not to.

Is it worth the Dr. getting in there and saying NOPE cannot do this one. No, I did not cheat while on 2 week liquid diet, as I was afraid of being rejected after working so hard to get approved. Best of luck to you

It always sends off warning bells in my head when I hear things like this. It means that alcohol is pretty important to you, and you may have trouble with it when you can no longer "use" food. Please be aware!! You might blow off this post, and think, "alcohol is not a problem for me."

If that is the case, it should not be a problem to give it up.

No this will not be blown off at all, and I do appreciate your input. I plan on not drinking for a min. of at least one year or until i hit goal weight. I simply wanted to find out if anyone else contemplated this same matter while in this phase. This is the exact response I was hoping to get. No I don’t intend on having a drink a week before the surgery. As I said it will be tempting to, all of your input's are just giving me more of a reason to refrain from doing so.

We might not all have had one last beer, but we all had one last something! I know I had several "last" foods! I think it is completely normal, but I do recommend saying your goodbyes before you start your pre-op diet.

Being reminded of the fact that I will be discouraged from having a beer after surgery (carbonation) this makes me want to go grab one. Earlier last month when all the seasonal beer started to come out I went and got a mixed 6 pack of anything pumkin. I certainly have been tempted to polish off the bottle of vodka I have. But I have refrained since I am doing my pre-op diet. Having a drink has certainly crossed my mind a time or two.

Oh crap...I didn't realize this was posted in the men's room. I have made a point of not posting in here...sorry guys

I did not realize it was in the boys room either, I always just look at the latest topics on the right of the screen and after I posted I thought OH CRAP!

I did not, but I am a craft beer aficionado. Earlier this year I was on a road trip through Colorado and stopped at a bunch of local breweries to try what they had. I didn't at the time but now kind of look at it as a farewell tour lol. I will miss a nice, cold, hoppy and carbonated IPA.

Yeah I loved exploring new beers my self. I think that is really what brought on this thought is that I won’t get any again. In all honesty being healthy and in shape means a lot more to me then a beer. I understand this is a life style change and some sacrifices will be made.

Some peeps are so critical on what you can have and cannot have in these forums. If you like beer after you are healed.....have one ....or two. May take you awhile to drink them but dont let the "Food Patrol" in here make you feel guilty ( they are mostly woman). Me personally I went to a wedding a week before surgery and and had beer .... and mixed drinks. I was on only a one week liquid diet because I had lost alot of weight before surgery. I am always testing to see if I can handle certains foods and drinks all the time. If it doesnt feel right I dont do it again.

The day before my surgery was Cinco De Mayo and my doctor told me to go ahead and have a couple drinks as long as they were clear liquids.
