I have tried alcohol here and there. My first time was on a riverboat and it was a warm day and after a glass of wine and a toasted almond, over a 2 hour span, I almost passed out. Don't know if it was the heat and the motion attributing to that. The next time was a Smirnoff Ice and it was too sour for my pouch, so I almost . The next time was the weekend Dave and I left the kids and I had a Khalua drink that didn't settle well, then the next day (again on a boat in the 95 degree heat) I had two wines coolers and almost passed out. This last time I had a pomagranate margarita and had dumping (also had some desert, which didn't help). Now I have 1/2 pitcher of the margarita in my fridge, a 6 pack +4 rum coolers and several of the Khalua bottled drinks in my fridge that I am afraid to try any of them. I used to have a few drinks with my girlfriends, now I am afraid to drink because I don't want to get sick or dizzy or shaky. Not fun, but I'm sure I'll try again here soon. Have you had anything? Are you planning on trying something? Let us know how it goes. Hugs, Tabby

Glad you're joining us, Evelyn. Monday it is!!! Even though you don't have a pouch, getting back to the basics is what the goal is here. We can do this!! Hopefully this is just the ticket to work on the last few pesky pounds for you!!! Good Luck, Tabby

When do we start?

I get very loaded on 4 oz of wine. When I am too hungry to sleep I have some or Benadryl. Both work well. Linda

Can I join in too? I don't have a pouch, but our post op diets seem to be similar, and I'd like a jump start to these last 11 pounds..... Monday!!
