Celebrating my friends birthday tomorrow. We are going to Mexican food place and painting with a wine. They do not know about my WLS. What can I have to kind of blend in, besides Water. I'm only 1 week post-op.

Honestly, you are doing more than I would.

I'm not deviating from list of things I can have for any reason.

I'd stay home and play sick. I know that's a bad answer but I'm being honest.

I agree! I haven't had surgery yet (3 days away) but I've already canceled my one week post op plans bc my dr said for the first 3 weeks my only job is to get outta bed, sip, sip, sip, and heal!

I think that's wise. Plus you'll still have sutures that are healing. The last thing you want is unnecessary exposure to germs and folks with colds, flu, pneumonia, etc.

There will be tons of time in the future you'll want to go out. Your energy level and desire to have fun is going to grow and grow.

Good luck with your surgery next week.

Went out and had a great time. No pressure from my friends. I ended up ordering tortilla soup and sipping on the broth. Then we went to a wine and painting place and I just had my Water. I told my friends that I had a hernia removed, which I did, and they were all okay with it.
