Alcohol

I know I'm probably going to get sh** for this, but I was just wondering how far out were you when you had your first drink?  and what was it? 

I'm about three months out, I know I won't be drinking anytime soon, but was just wondering?? 

Thank you!

No worries... all questions are welcome here!

I was a year out when I had my first drink... I followed the plan ordered by my surgeon.  he alchohol hits quickly since everything is so much smaller.  The buzz is faster and more intense.  I would drink at home with a group of trusted people first.

IMO three months is quite early out... no need to add empty calories into your diet already. :)

Welcome to the board!

my surgeon says no alcohol for 6 mos.  i waited 7 and now occasionally enjoy a glass of wine. OCCASIONALLY!  lots of empty calories and temptation.  wine always makes me want to eat and drink at the same time, which is a no no.  so just be careful and follow your surgeon's orders.

I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering about this...I'm 11 days prior to surgery but I've been wondering too since the bar tends to be the place I hang out...I guess I'm be a cheap date now...and in fact probably shouldn't drink at all, because considering how much it takes now, I'll probably end up being a one drink....hoe down! type of girl, and I don't want to be the drunk girl.

I had a drink 4 weeks out... 3 to be exact... (Bloody Mary's) it didn't bother me at all... But everyone is different... 

I was a year out before I tried a drink. My god it hits you quick and fast so be prepared and make sure your around people you know well and trust. Some drinks affect me different and more quicker then others it just depends. When I do go out now I stick to things that don't get me buzzed real quick. Usually cran and vodka or diet and rum are my best bets. Just be safe and follow your surgeons requirements.
Best of luck

OMG girlie!  Those drinks are the ones that hit me fast!  I gotta stick with a beer to keep it a slow night, lol.

Oh beer sounds good I like Corona light with lime!! I don't ever reccomend drinking a alabama slammer I barely got halfway thru it and my night was done!! LOL.

Great... now you know I'm going to have to try that sucker on Friday.  Thanks alot, man. lol!

I believe Miller has a 64 calorie one... didnt give me those crazy buzzes... still functional, cheap in cals and danced the night away.  Perfection.

I have heard that the new miller 64 cal are good. I haven't tried it yet. Well if you try a alabama slammer let me know how it goes!! Good Luck LOL.
