Guess what I tried over the weekend?

Yup. I had my first alcoholic beverage since my surgery and I didn't even try it at home first. I went out to a bar with my hubby & a friend of his, his wife, his brother, and wife's sister. Temptation was everywhere ...I know I didn't have to give in but I wanted to hehe. Anyway, I had 1 whole & 1/4 of a cosmopolitan. It was GOOD. I didn't get buzzed or nothing. I drank it real slow...maybe that's why nothing happened. I was really expecting to get drunk off a few sips ( silly me ) but that wasn't the case. I didn't dum*****thing. Now the question is...would I do it again? Ehhh...maybe yes but not often. Who else has tried alcoholic beverages and what have you had? Just curious . Elisa

In APRIL I had one sip of watered down wine at my sister's wedding. I was too chicken to get sick, and as much as I hated being sober at a wedding - it wasn't worth it to drink watery wine, so I stopped. I really, really, really look forward to alcohol again around the holidays, but surprisingly enough, I haven't missed it yet this summer. xosm

Yeah I also don't miss alcohol but once we went out and I saw everyone else drinking those cosmos & margaritas and what not...I was like "I want one too" . So my hubby said, well go ahead and try one. I did and all was fine. Kinda disappointing though...I thought we were supposed to be cheap drunks . Elisa

I drank a 1/4 cup of some mango marguarita(sp) and I will admit that I was a little tipsy. I drank when I was about a month out and it made my pouch hurt and I said I would never drink again but it was the 4th and my aunt's bday so I had a drink. The feeling doesn't last that long though I guess it depends on what you drink!

yeah I guess it does depend on what you drink and probably how fast you drink it? I don't know...I need to do more experimenting . Elisa

I had a couple 5 or 6 shots of buttery nipple this weekend. I didn't get sick or dump. No hang over but I did drink alot of extra water. I don't mind having a drink every couple of months. I was celebrating/pouting this weekend My son will be leaving Sunday for Boot Camp in San Diego.

Lara, you look too young to have a son leaving to boot camp. So you had 5 or 6 SHOTS? Wow and you didn't get sick or anything...I thought we were suppose to feel the effects of alcohol faster than before? Have you gotten drunk at all? Elisa

I spaced them out and was drinking water too. I was tipsy but not sick or drunk. Thank you for the too young comment. I find it hard to believe that my baby is an adult now.. and leaving home. double wammy !!

I've been too chicken to try any alcohol until last week... I mixed a little bit of Passion Fruit Malibu Rum with a lot Raspberry Crystal Light. I didn't feel or taste a thing. Maybe I'll try a little bit more rum and a little less watered down Crystal Light next time. I'm just scared about mixed drinks with fruit juice. I love em and even though I don't dump, I'm afraid I would with juice AND alchohol... Trial by error I guess... I'll just need to make sure I have easy access to a restroom.

Yeah, they say to test the drinking thing at home but really who stays home just to drink? When you try it again let me know how it went. Elisa
