Drinking and Driving after Weight Loss Surgery….

HAh! I got your attention! Seriously. This post is about liquids of all forms not just Alcoholic. Here is a list of To DO’s after surgery… 2 months, 2 years, 10 years, and in general!

• Do Drink plenty of WATER! me personally, I like to add a little propel into the mix and call it even
• Don’t drink liquids with your meals… it fills up your stomach pre-maturely, when you should be getting your proteins and vegetables in
• If you’re not getting enough protein or fiber, drink it. Or you’ll be up shit creek – Litteraly. They have new flavors of metamucil, i’m really looking forward to trying them instead of the classic orange crap.
• Don’t drink too much alcohol. It’s bad for you, its goes through your bowels and out the other end like beer shits, and frankly… you’ll be the first one drunk, and the first one sober – no matter how much you’ve had.
• Yes. in the early months, you can drink too much liquids (at one time) and puke them up.
• Cokes. Yuck. Who drinks them? Not you! No diet no regular. Don’t do it. There are dozens of reasons to stop drinking soda.
• Juice is good – sugar is not. You’ll think you’ve turned into a diabetic the way sugar will make you sick. It’s like….. that funky feeling after you’ve ate toooo much again at thanksgiving…. but….stops in bout an hour, instead of 4 hours
• Don’t get dehydrated. you may have a small tummy, and have to learn to juggle your drinking and eating habits significantly to get food and 64 ounces of water in. Deal with it. It’s a small price to pay for loosing – How much weight?

Now get out there and DRINK!
