I can still do beer - just much less. Agree with the Guiness comment - it does go down easier. I will have a few beers, then if I want to continue, I will switch to wine, scotch or my favorite - bourbon.

But you know what they say, "Beer then liquor. . ."

On vacation last week I tried a beer-made me feel very bloated from the carbonation. But it is true that Guiness isn't all that carbonated-will have to try Guiness. It's my favorite beer anyway.:wink_smile:

I'm considering surgery and was looking for a thread like this. I ma an avid beer drinker and brewer. This would probably be a deal breaker for me if I couldn't enjoy sipping my beers.

Vodka and Cranberry is what I get at the bar. I get an extra cranberry to make it last longer as I get tipsy faster! I also drink wine, but that is a bit girly I suppose!

What's all this Home Brew talk? I would not worry about not being able to sip your beers or even drink them. I can drink beer or wine easily. Im not a big drinker at all, but I have no problems. BUT !! enough home brew - let's try HOME GROWN !!

:rolleyes:

I too am a scotch man. I'm also into red wine. Nothing girlie about it!

I would agree. I drive a road king and all I drink is red wine

Nothing to be depressed about. You've lost 42 pounds, which is great!

As far as my secret, I am pretty much maniacal about managing this. I weigh everything so that I never eat more than 4-5 ounces at any sitting. I have kept a food diary every day since my surgery to make sure that I get my 70 grams of Protein and to keep my daily calories between 1300-1500. The only dessert that I have had since August is sugar free pudding-1/4 cup per day. Other than that, no Cookies, cake, or anything else. I have started running or walking 4-5 days per week. The only "rules" that I have broken are caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. my doctor told me that I couldn't have any of these after surgery. As far as alcohol, well, I just really like it. I'm on call alot of nights and when I have to be at the hospital overnight, coffee is what gets me through. As far as nicotine, I'm a mostly reformed former smoker who occasionally falls off the wagon (but if Obama does it, so can I?).

Love my drinks but after banding takes less of them. I love sipping Johnny Walker Black and also order Grey Goose and Water. I carry the little Crystal Lite (I like the generic ones better and not so sweet) and dump about 1/2 tube into my drink. Wine makes me stupid for some reason.

I am mostly a wine drinker, but lately I have been drinking Crown Royal with a splash of Water and lemon. I have come to really enjoy this as my alternative to beer and good for those bars that don't serve wine.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
