alcohol???

Hello everyone, yep, I too have tried... I have had a couple of glasses of wine here and there... I usually throw a couple of Ice cubes in it to water it down a bit... I did have a vodka cranberry this weekend when I was out... It doe**** me much harder than it used to... which is great cuz it makes me a cheap date.. lol... Keep up the good work everyone!

Yeah I tried it after about a month LOL I do fine - I can drink more than I thought I could, but definately not nearly as much as pre-op. I've tried vodka and water, vodka and diet v8 splash, beer, and a few jello shooter... happy drinking... I missed it LOL

I took a sip of wine at Thanksgiving, but was worried about the sugar content. I haven't tried sugar post-op yet and I'm not sure what effect it will have on me. I was thinking about ordering the Baja Margarita mix that's made with splenda & having that. I always loved margaritas. The reason we're not supposed to drink alcohol is because it goes directly to the liver and also it is said that it doesn't take much to get you loopy. I may try something over Christmas or New Years. I was thinking about the mikes light that's made with splenda although I haven't tried carbonated beverages either. Sounds like everyone is fine with wine. Would be interesting to see what kind everyone had. Tammy

I had a glass and a half of wine. I became tipsy pretty fast, but I haven't drank in about two years. I just had a baby in March so I was pregnant last year. The buzz wore off just as quickly as it came on and I was so tired afterward as well.

Thanks everyone for your honest responses. I was never a big drinker pre-op so I haven't tried alcohol yet...but I am sure I will want to one of these days. Thanks for letting me know how it affected my fellow "August-ites". Jill
