Liquor..alcohol...have you done it yet?
Have any of you had any alcoholic beverages since your surgery date? What instructions has your surgeon given you as being allowed to enjoy an adult beverage? This gal said she had her 1st drink roughly 3 months after she had her surgery.
So I'm just curiuos..have any of you indulged yet and how did it go?
I had a shot of Vodka on halloween and it did not sit well. I was immediatly hot and clamy so I tried to flu**** out with water but I drank it too fast and everything came back up.
I have had a sip of beer here and there and the gass I get is just not worth it to me.
I say - go for it.... this surgery is about life-style changes not giving up stuff forever. I would reccomend you try first at home - just in case your body isn't really ready for it yet.
Enjoy!!

This feeling seemed to last for about the 1st year, 1 glass, nice buzz, did o.k. I had to drink very very slowly.
Then I seemed to build up a little tolerance and I could indulge a little more. That last about a year.
This past year though, I seem to have developed a lot of changes. Gravity took effect again and everything dropped own. I gained about 10 lbs but I went from a size 4 to a size 8, no change on top. I noticed a littler intollerance to carbs and wine as well as any sugary type alcohols like brandy or rum. I just started to avoid those.
Recently though I am intollerant to all alcoholic beverages. Two kind souls reminded me of that nasty hypoglycemia. It never dawned on me that the feeling (jittery, almost buzzed 4-5 hours after a drink, dry mouth) could be low blood sugar. Since I suffered from hypoglycemic episodes before surgery, who would have thought that 3 1/2 years later and at a healthy BMI, it could happen again.
Thanks to those of you *****sponded!
Just take it easy with the alcohol, try it at home, and don't over-indulge. The hangover is a killer and I can't tolerate the fatty, high carb foods that used to make me feel better.
I had alcohol a little more than 2 months out. I know, I know..shame on me. I sipped on a double shot of Jagermeister over about a 3 hour period. I didn't feel any effects from the alcohol and because I couldn't drink it quickly it got warm and nasty. I felt the burn as it went down a little more tha I used to.
Pre-op I drank on rare, rare occasions and it was usually Jager Bombs (jager and redbull), and since I can't do the carbonation anymore that's out. I don't feel like I'm missing out on much by not drinking, so I don't think I'll partake again in the future.

In college...yes, I drank alot, but after I met my husband I pretty much stopped. And since my husband doesn't drink, we don't have alcohol in the house. I take that back...we do have some cooking wine, lol. But I was never a wine drinker.
My family drinks Bailey's at Christmas time, so I might try some of that, but I won't miss it if I don't.
