I know this is a no-no....but....

has anyone had ANY type of alcoholic drink?

Nope. Bad juju.

Nope, not I. I haven't even had a soda yet. Hugs, Trisha

I haven't and haven't wanted to. I drink water, water, water and sometimes diet V8 Splash. I even avoided coffee for awhile, although now I do have one cup a day. I had to sign a statement for my insurance company that I wouldn't drink alcohol for a year after the surgery. So.... Cheryl

I have not had any either. What I did find on the bariatric eating site was the sugar free ****tail mixes. Now that the weather is getting hotter and the frozen drink time is here I make them without the alcohol and they taste just a good as if I had the alcohol. Eileen

as much as I have wanted a margarita drink I can honestly say no I havent....cant say I havent wished for it though I have always been told it was a Becky

Yup, I put a shot of vodka in SF grape kool-aid. It was very good and I had no problems.

No, I haven't tried any alcohol... Not for the first year!That doesnt mean that I haven't wanted to! Bonnie

I haven't had any alcohol. I noticed since I can't use the food, don't smoke anymore (craving one a lot lately) - that a drink would be nice.... I guess I just want a substance - so I pick up some chopped ice or a s/f pop. Has anyone tried gum? swallowed it/ I'm so afraid I will accidently swallow a piece? Jan D.

I was told that was a SUPREME nono! Swallowing gum can clog the pouch and force them to rotorooter you. If you can guarantee you can chew gum without swallowing, go ahead, but be careful.
