I have quick a question for everyone!
When can I have alcohol again!?! My doctors haven't said anything and I'm really craving some wine. I am almost 3 weeks out so I'm sure it's not now that I can have it but I was wondering if it's a month or two or six or what lol

Hey ya'll! My name is Amanda and I go in for my surgery tomorrow morning! Super excited and equally scared. I have been struggling with my weight my entire life and when I reached my breaking point, I was at my highest weight. I am 5'6 and was 287 lbs. After my 2 week liquid diet (and my "cleaning out" all day today) I am at 270. I am laying in bed trying to fall asleep (yea right!) and all I keep doing is praying. Praying for God to be in surgery with me tomorrow. To guide the surgeons ...
