Drinking alcohol

We go to Cancun every December.. I had RNY in September and since we stay at a all inclusive resort and I just happened to float around at the swim up bar I DID drink LOL I didnt guzzle though and I told the bartenders to take it easy with the booze. I am not a hardcore drinker but when we go on vacation I like my Margaritas, Drunken Monkeys, Pina Coladas ect ect. I can say but will not confirm I did this but straight shots of tequila will BURN THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR POUCH.. but if you do shots such as tequila poppers (mix of sweet syrup makes it easy to go down) well those go down fine!! like I said Im neither confirming or denying these acts of Cancun recklessness

I want to go with you on your next trip to Cancun!  Sounds like fun!

You are too funny Darc!   I too will say, but not confirm that shot's don't feel good on the pouch!  I am a light weight bigtime and 1/3 a glass of wine goes right to my head and I feel NO PAIN!!! LOL!!!!  I used to love margaritas, drunken monkeys and fuzzy navels best, but now it's just wine if I feel the need... lol! Have a great one girl!   Sheryl

Okay, I have to ask - what's a drunken monkey? :)

A drunkey monkey is a drink that will keep you coming back all day long asking for the same LOL the drink is made with banana, kahlua, vodka and creme and then thrown in a blender so its like a banana chocolate milkshake and it is soooooooooooo good

Darcie Drunken Monkey sounds yummy also sounds like Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream. One night while having a glass of wine playing golf on the xbox I told Lee I was so wasted he was going to have to help me to bed. Dont do the wine but every once in awhile.                                Annie

Yum!  LOL - That's all I need to do is get hooked on a new kind of drink BEFORE I get my surgery.

DrM told me to at least wait 6 months, prefferably the first year. During the first 6 months you are in the MWL period (massive weight loss)... your liver is going thru A LOT, its not fair to dump alcohol on top of it ya know? Plus you want to maximize your weight loss during the period taking advantage of every single day. Margaritas are one of the worst drinks out there due to the sour mix (one of my favorite as well) - LOADED with carbs and sugar (1 margarita can run over 300 calories)... www.zilchmixers.com sells no sugar mix or you can make your own using splenda (search food.com)... also soda is loaded with sugar so choosing a diet soda is the way to go.  When you do decide to drink do your research and find better low carb/sugar alcohol choices and mixers so you arnt drinking a zillion calories and a ton of sugar. You still have to count the alcohol calories into your daily intake as well.

Thanks all for the input and guess I will prob just wait the year.   I also have gotten an education on drinks..lmao. Thanks again, Pam

I used to go out every Tues with the girls. :) I'm going to wait my year.. and maybe even thensome. I'm actually afraid to drink for fear of dumping. I don't mind the loopy feeling.. LOL but hate to dump from anything. I think Dr. B recommends a year as well.
