Alcohol

I was wondering how long we are suppose to weight to drink alcohol. Does anyone know?

6 months- 1 year

Lexa is right but even after 1 yr - it does something to you. Not worth the empty calories - if you MUST try it - then at least have your 1st drink at home because your body will now process liquor differently.

I had my first drink at 2 years out. I was out to happy hour with folks from work. I drank, oh, about one neck of a bottle of Sam Adams. Boy, it was good - but I was so loopy!! Maybe it would be a good idea to try at home in a safe environment. HTH, Kristen

Diana, There is an excellent article in Barbara Thompson's most recent newsletter about recommendations for alcohol consumption after weight loss surgery. It is a free newsletter and if you have not already subscribed to it I highly recommend it!! Here is the link for the Feb. 1st, 2007 issue of Barbara Thompson's WLS Center Newsletter. http://www.wlscenter.com/NLArchive/feb_1_2007.htm Vickie J.

DON'T DO IT!!!! I WAS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR OUT AND WENT TO A BRIDAL SHOWER. I HAD 1 PINK PANTY( VODKA AND LEMONADE), I'M DEAD SERIOUS, I PAST OUT AND FELL ON MY FACE IN FRONT OF EVERYONE! I AM STILL TOO HUMILIATED TO FACE THOSE PEOPLE. I HIDE.

I tried a drink about 6 mth out, I did not have too much trouble, but can only drink 1 or 2 maz.( over a 4 hr time frame).. you get drunk pretty fast..... So when you try sip and stop when you feel a tiny buz...
