DRINKING AND WLS

HELLO  People I have not been on here for a hilw but I have a question, has anyone experienced  a lower tolarance for alcohol since wls? I use to be able to drink  hard liquor  but lately after about two drinks  I am afraid to try and drive home.....I was  terrifed last weeks when I went thrugh a check stop, becuse I had no Idea what my bac would be if they pulled me over!!

  Welcome to cheap date-ville!!!!

we all tolerate less!  I do about two drinks and need a TAXI!!!!!  LOL 

I get drunk quick but I also get sober quick I have found that if I alternate a drink and then a glass of water and then a drink and then water...I usually do pretty well. BUT I can tell you that if I don't eat and have a drink O-M-G I will have no recollection of what happened the night before PERIOD...thank goodness I have great GFs that take care of my drunk azz

girl - OK!!!!  My dang girlfriend took PICS of my drunk azz hangin out the backseat of the car RALPHING......... she was dead wrong for that!!!!  LOL 

WTF Yeah that Heffa would have to get paid back for that one.

The worst they have done to me is when I fell half on the floor of my one GF minivan and they left my  fat azz up (yes I lost weight but my azz is still BIG) in the air and went into IHOP to eat. The next day I had to call them and ask them why my damn neck and shoulder was hurtin  then one of them showed me the pic of my azz up in the air and my upper body on the floor of her van It was funny tho...

  OMG - that was NOT right either!!!!!!! 

I fell out on my GF sofa one time - woke up the next day and took a minute to realize it was NOT my house!!!  She's a good friend and took my heels off for me - that way when I made the mad dash **** run to the bathroom - I ain't trip!!!!  LOL 

MAD DASH PISS RUN  

Hey BC...here's a free tip: Don't drink and drive.

Here's some info on BAC:

19 people who had got gastric bypass surgery done were made to drink red wine, and the effects were compared with 17 control subjects, who had no such history.

All participants then underwent an alcohol breath analysis every five minutes until the levels reached zero.

Morton held that bypass patients had a crest alcohol level of 0.08% whereas, the controlled subjects had a level of just 0.05%.

He also said that the bypass patients took longer to sober down. While the controlled subjects took an average of 72 minutes, the former took 108 minutes to get back to zero.

 

I should have added that I NEVER drink and drive...not pre-op and not now. I have a group of friends and we always take turnes being the DD. If I can't find someone to ride with and I have to drive then I don't drink PERIOD. It's not worth the risk of losing my life or taking someone elses'

After Gastric Bypass: Drunk Faster?

 

Study Shows Patients Who Have Weight Loss Surgery May Need to Drink Carefully

June 14, 2007 -- Patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery to lose weight already know they have to watch how much they eat after the operation to keep that weight off. Now, a new study suggests they better keep a close eye on their alcohol intake, too.

After the surgery, patients get tipsier faster and take longer to sober up, says study researcher John M. Morton, MD, MPH, the director of bariatric surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.

"One drink could be enough to place them at risk for a DUI," Morton tells WebMD.
