I had to try it

I have avoided alcohol since my RNY. Although I was not a drinker before. An ocassional drink with friends. So I chose to stay home by myself last night. Well I had a partial bottle of Mudslide sitting here since last New Years and decided I might just try it to see what happens.. I poured about an inch in the bottom of a glass.. added 4oz. of milk and took about 3 sips. And WOWSIE!! I got a tummy ache and head ache and felt like I was going to URP.. but I didn't. I guess I slept about 1/2 hour or so (and didn't even realize it), because the phone woke me. Sure felt better after that but poured that stuff down the drain. Rest assured that is the last drink I have..Good old tomato juice on ice for me at the Eagles with the friends. Wishing all A GOOD NEW YEAR. A new life for me and all of you I hope. Alice

Happy New Year Alice! sounds like you are a dumper. ow. glad you didn't try bigger swallows! kahlua used to be my favorite too. just coffee for me these days as well! hope you feel better today and lets all have a great 2008! judi

Yep - the trash can and sink are my best friends for eliminating temptations, too!

Cleo, love the new pic! i don't know if it is the smile, softer hair or everything but you look younger! (da*n you!). My eyelids get crepier by the day but you look terrific!!!! judi

Thanks Judi, but it's the photo not real. In person I show EVERY mile!

I tried a Cosmopolitan Martini last night to celebrate the new year. First drink since surg. I used to be a light weight and I certainly still am!! That particular drink doesn't have much sugar at all so I didn't dump or feel yucky, but man was I dizzy!!!!! I could hardly walk out to the car - good thing my husband was there, who knows which car I would have ended up in Bekah

ahh ladies, welcome to Merlot. yummmy. I made love to that bottle on new years eve. I drank plenty of water in between and didnt feel much in the way of a hangover. But those times are few and far between for me also. I just prefer to drink wine and my pouch accepts it fine. sorry for the visual... belinda
