RNY question

Hey fellow RNY friends. I was wondering about alcohol. Does champagne have a negative affect on anyone?  I really want to have a couple of Mimosas on Christmas and since I have not had any alcoholic beverages since surgery, I would like to get some imput on experiences with alcohol.  Also, does anyone have any suggestions on what brand of OJ I can have. I have not had fruit juice since surgery either.

Thanks

I only just had a couple of drinks the other night.  I had two drinks and they hit me very quick, but the buzz was also gone very quick.  As for orange juice I'd probably try the Trop 50 by Tropicana.  It has 1/2 the calories and sugar of regular OJ.  Good luck and enjoy Christmas!

I haven't had much to drink since surgery, but the drinks that I have had have hit me quickly and the buzz has gone away almost as quickly.  I had 1 glass of champagne at a wedding last August and I did fine...just drank it very slowly. 

I'd go with that light/reduced sugar OJ...I don't remember the brand.  I think maybe it was Tropicana.
Good luck!

Thanks for the  tips, I will buy some of the OJ today for a test run.The champagne will have to wait until Christmas. 

I've had the Trop 50 with some protein powder in it and did fine, but I don't dump. 

I just started drinking crystal light orange sunrise. Taste like OJ to me without the sugar. I'm really liking it myself! ~Cindy~

well i had a few sips of beer and thats no good but i have had some light egg nogg a frend made and felt fine. cant drink enough to catch a buzz. I am not a big drinker eather. i usualy have a bit of nogg around the holidays and thats my extent of drinking for the year. . I drank less then 4 0z of the stuff.

I would dilute the OJ 1/2 water to juice.
Alcohol- it doesn't take much to get me looped these days. For me a half drink of something is enough.

I can't drink anything with bubbles without a lot of pain. Be careful drinking anything carbonated as it can stretch your new stomach. I don't do oj either. too much sugar and it get really nauseous.

I do have a glass of wine or a twisted tea and one glass knocks me for a loop. be careful as alcohol will hit you faster now.
