Alcohol?

So tomorrow night I am going out for a bachlorette party. The girl getting married is a good friend from college and also the one who's wedding I am in next weekend. Get the dress tomorrow so we'll see how much altering I need done! But I digress... We are getting a hotel, going to Cheeseburger in Paradise, going to Jillians, and then out to bars. Originally my plan was Cheeseburger, Jillians, and home. However the more I think about it, the more I really want to go out. I never get to go to bars and very rarely go out with girlfriends etc. Soooooo I know alcohol isn't recommended. I also know it will hit me a lot faster/harder than it did before. However I really would like to have just one drink. One drink I can work on all night. I'll be 8 weeks out on Tuesday. I was thinking about just a vodka and cranberry with lots of ice to water it down. I guess I am just trying to convince myself it would be OK....Man I sat this week with a plate full of chocolate chip cookies in front of me and didn't have the urge to eat one. In fact I felt nauseaus. However I really really want a drink...I feel so weak/losing will power.... Sam

You are correct you will feel the effect much harder, I my self would not try to drink it on this night , for a couple of reasons. One is if you do drink you need to make sure you have a driver just in case you end up drinking more and you wont be able to drive, two sometimes the drink just might have to much sugar in it, and you don't want to get sick while you are out with your friends. I would try to drink at home and try it and see what you might feel like. I am sure others might have sujections, and they might do well with a drink or two. I had a glass of Austi and I felt so tired and very relaxed, I didn't get sick but I did make sure I had eaten my meals for the day, I was already 6 mnths out. Good luck and hope you have fun in what ever choice you make. Lisa B

I buy drinks all the time... I just get virgin Pina Colodas.. or strawberry dacquis... Linda

I would be careful with that. Do you know if you dump on sugar yet? I imagine that would be a pretty nasty way to find out. I can't really tell you about the effects post op, because I've been way too chicken to try any. I have had a virgin strawberry daquri, and it was yummy, but very sweetm and I wouldnt reccomend it to someone who dumps on sugar (myself personally, i dont). Whatever you do, make sure you have a driver, because wether it it hits you harder than you expect or it doesnt agree with you, you wont be up to driving., have fun, but be careful!

Thanks girls! We have a hotel and the bars are all in walking distance. So no driving. I have drank juice with no problem and don't dump. I figure juice, water, and a shot of alcohol should be ok. I am still on the fence. Pina Coladas and Daquiris have stuff with lots of sugar that make me nervous to try. Oh well...we'll see... Either way I'll have fun! Sam
