Alcoholic Drinks

So has anyone tried a real drink yet? I have a 4th of July barbeque to attend and was hoping for a margarita. too early?

I had a beer about a month ago. It went right to my head. I was looped. I don't usually drink - one beer a year. After that experience, I decided no beers will probably be my new motto! Linda

Hey Suzie, My surgery date was 1/25/05, so I'm just about a week ahead of you. The girls I work with all went out for a birthday celebration about 2 weeks ago. I ordered a frozen margarita, it was happy hour and it was served in a small beer mug, probalby about 6 oz. I sipped on it very slowly and drank just about half. I was really scared to try anymore than that. What I have heard is, it doesn't take much at all for you to feel loopy, but it passes quickly. I was in a public place, so I was just a little nervous. I did fine. Best of luck and have fun. Terri

OK, this is what I have tried and or done... *Beer- Cannot stomach it anymore. My nutritionist said it might be the barley, yeast or the hops that upsets my pouch. *Wine- half a glass and I am buzzes, I sip slowly over 15 minutes. (I just do wine during religious stuff now; used to drink it a glass almost nightly with my dinner.) *Shooters/Shots- NO WAY, tried it and dumped like something FIERCE! Not to mention I was completely wasted (although it only lasted for about a hour). *Mixed drinks- I have them made with low carb or sugar free mixers and I can do half a drink... keep the buzz for 30 minutes, then finish the rest when the bizz wears off. (I buy my own Sugar free mixers but bigger places -bars, resturaunts, etc- do carry them too!) *****tails- Can't really tolerate them, wayy too strong and too much sugar at one time! OYE! Dumpsville!

I have tried margarita's and wine. Both got me totally buzzed after 3 oz. but it didn't last more than 30 minutes. I also dumped after 5 oz. I had a MAJOR sugar rush. Interesting. ATTENTION MEN! If you desire to get a lady who has had WLS plastered so you can "ahem,....have your way with her....." remember... it takes very little, but it wears off before you can get her home! And if you overdo it.......LOL!
