My Dr said I was fine to have a glass of wine at 8 weeks. Since then, I have had no trouble with any drink, fizzy or not. In fact, I just had a really nice Pinot Noir... yummy! Just don't...

You're not unusual. Just hang in there with your diet. You'll see results in many ways...

I also took B-12 sublingual. No problems, inexpensive and easy to find at the pharmacy.

No problems with coffee, wine or any other drink. My lifestyle is completely normal in every way. I just don't eat as much and weigh much less.

This surgery is the best thing I have ever done...

I would think it's more likely people are more different than the surgical procedures. The difference in the actual surgical procedure is likely very narrow and based on the specific physiology of...

Recognizing folks are different, I have not had trouble eating/drinking during meals. Now, I never drank a lot during meals before, either. But, it's not a problem for me to have water (or wine)...

Yes, I can eat sweets. I never did eat many sweets, but when I've had them after surgery, there are no problems.

Ummmm... nothing! If I really want to eat something, I do. I'm just so much smarter about it now and I have a tool that helps me make better choices. It's a wonderful thing...

It is promising! Be positive. You've made a great decision. Go with it! :)

Unless your friend expects you to "clean your plate", you will appear very normal.

I've been able to eat/drink anything I want. Soda? No problem, just don't drink it fast. Beer? Same. Popcorn? Apples? Nuts? Salads? Steaks? No problem... and NEVER any heartburn.

So for me,...

Popcorn is no problem. I had it 3 months after surgery. I've had no issues with anything I've wanted to eat. Popcorn, nuts, apples, etc.

70 since January. 10-15 more to go.

You should perhaps talk to your doctor. My head tells me I'm hungry much more than my stomach does, and I've learned to tell the difference. I eat a little for breakfast, a salad (or grilled...

I've found I can drink anything I want - wine, beer, mixed drinks, straight up. I take a little more time with highly carbonated drinks, like ultra light beers out of the bottle, but other than...

I paid for mine because I didn't want to go thru the long waiting period. In hindsight, I would pay double. Completely worth it.

Just because you want one so bad may be the reason you should stay away! :)

I am 4 months past my surgery. I have a soda when I want one. My advise would be to either choose one from a...

This operation is only a tool to assist you in managing your weight. There's nothing magical about it. You can absolutely regain the weight if you allow yourself. It's a matter of choice and...

I still enjoy eating and I'm glad I do! I just eat way less and continue to lose weight. I'm glad this surgery didn't take away my enjoyment of good food. It's the best thing I have ever done for...

Surgery on Tuesday, walking the neighborhood on Thursday, driving on Friday and back to work (office job) on Monday. No problem.

Welcome! You'll find much support here.

Agree with Molly's post above - you need a certain amount of calories but also ensure you're getting the right kind to get thru plateaus. For me, the plateaus usually occur because I'm eating more...

Also love Mexican as well as spicy foods in general. So far, no issues with with either. But to someone's point above, everything in moderation.

I may not be as active as you but I was walking around the neighborhood at day 2, easily climbing stairs and driving day three and back to work day 5. I think you'll know what you can do before you...

I have a little different point of view. It's not just what you eat - it's the quantity and the amount of exercise that is included. I don't see "thin" people only eating "heathy" foods - I see...
