I did a bad thing

So, I went with a friend to a club, and I had one drink. OMG I know guys it;'s a bad thing. but I got so drunk from this drink. I can see why RNY'ers can pick up an alchohol addiction.

It's been over a year since I last had any alcohol. It's way too early for you to be drinking any! Ask your surgeon when s/he thinks you can have some. Some say six months, some say a year, some say never!

Wow, you are sexy gorgeous hot.  I'd buy you a drink.

Hey we all have our "slips" just be careful !! You look like you are a young guy.....and with the changes in your looks and self esteem please be careful !!! This summer I  was partying a little too much......It was much more than I had in years !!!  You are a great looking guy.  You might not be used to being the center of attention. JUST STAY SAFE !!! There have been a couple of guys that used to post here and they both ended up HIV + after losing the weight.....attention + alcohol+ sex = high risk behavior

ALL RIGHT  ENOUGH OF MY PREACHING ........

I agree with Sean.  My weight loss center never told us we should swear off alcohol forever, but they did warn us that drinking could cause us to break rules and revert to old  (and some new) behaviors, so we should use caution.  For me, the alcohol works with my system the same as it did before....it just effects me WAY faster, but not necessarily stronger.  I was almost two months out when I had my first drink (vodka & Crystal Light), and looking back, that was probably too soon.  But I survived....and I haven't been on Oprah yet, so that is good.  :-)

I know no bad effect, just much faster in my system. I only needed one and it took me over the alchoholic limit for our state :)

LOL, what did you drink?  Did you get sick from the sugar?  I am a drinker when I can be, that is for sure!!  I have been scared, not to mention I amonly 4 weeks out.

It was a long island Icetea, and you know I have not had probs with sugars. I have been lucky I guess. I make sure everything I buy is under 5g of sugar.

I have a glass or two on the weekends. I just limit myself to weekends only. I don't want to trade one addiction for another!

Your first drink was a Long Island Iced TEA??  No wonder you got knocked on your ass!!  LOL!  Just one of those could put a sway in my step back when I weighed 340 lbs, and I haven't had one since my surgery.  I am still cautious of sugar...and that drink has more in it than I want.  (...same with margueritas....I've tried them, but they kind of make me feel icky.)  But everything else works fine, as long as I'm cautious with the type of mixer used.  Drinks of choice:  Wine, Bloody Mary, Mojito, Absolut Pear with diet Sprite, or vanilla Stoli with diet coke.  Oh, and nothing beats a good gin & tonic w/lime while sitting outside on a warm, sunny afternoon.  Sigh.  Not ready for winter.  :-(
