Okay, everyone I have a question for everyone, I am taking my first vacation since I had my surgery last year, I am going to Texas for my family reunion and all my family will be there.  The question that I have is, would be okay, if I had a couple of drinks  with them, would it hurt my band?

I cant imagine that it would actually HURT the band, but the calories are the issue. I have a drink once or twice a week (wine).

Im actually going on vacation very soon myself and trying to figure out what to drink there. Beer is out along with anything carbonated. Going to Mexico and dont really want to drink wine out in the sun and am not going to have the huge amount of calories in frozen drinks. Guess I'll have water and Iced tea during the day and a glass or two of wine at night.

Have a great time!

I have trouble with carbonation pop or beer.  I drink very little post band but when I do, it's vodka with some kind of juice or a glass of wine.  I never have more than 2 drinks but no one ever bothers me about it.  Have fun!

I think the last time I had anything to drink was last year at the family reunion, so I don't drink much at all and haven't since the kids where born.

But, I know when we all get together there will be some wine, beer, etc, not much of a beer drinker my self, do like a little wine, but my favorite is Margaret frozen or on the rocks is okay with me.

Just need to down time and much needed relaxation time from work and others.

I am leaving on the 6:30 AM flight tomorrow Texas bound...... Can't wait, I will be there by 10 AM or so..

Thanks everyone for all the help
