Hey guys please don't bash...I am going out tonight and want to have a small drink. I was wondering if any of you have any tips on whats sits okay with our new tummys. I have always been a bud light drinker so I'm not sure of other options. Thanks in advance

 How long have you been out? 

I find that i can drink most anything now- I'm over a yr out. But at first i had to stick to things mixed with juice- no sprite/coke mixes or beer or energy drinks. Too much foam and carbonation- it'll hurt.

Try Lemonade/Raspberry vodka, or cranberry juice vodka, sex on the beaches.. things like that. 

You'll tipsy quick! So be careful.

I tend to stick with a few staples when I go out to have a few drinks:

1. White wine...I'm a big fan of Chardonnay
2. MGD 64....pour it into a glass, and I stir most of the carbonation out of it with a straw
3. My new favorite....Absolut Mandarin & water. Add a lime wedge for fun and flavor

Be careful. I could put away my liquor before surgery, but now, I'm definitely a lightweight. Might want to have someone else drive, even if you just have one drink.

Have Fun!!

err i won`t do beer. it can make u feel a lil gasy and funy so try other thing. u can try a frappe drink `cuz is heavier for the pouch. it depends how u handdle sugar `cuz sometimes has lots of it. cranvery vodka frappe could be good idea or some vodka with natural water and lime. or a glass of wine. wine was my 1th drink. lol. u shoulda try it before. but if u are out with friends let they k now that u may not feel very good after lol.
u should be fine
hugs!!!

well, now for my two sense. im an ex big drinker. post op, i started with one glass of white zin to 2, to a bottle and then to shots of patron, long island iced teas,vodka and ice, vodka cran, vodka oj, crown and redbull, ofcourse jager bombs, red headed ****s (PUKE) margaritas...i apparently can tollerate anything..but its not a good idea. my dr told me that drinking alcohol has a tendency to be 100 times harder on your liver after surgery and - also caloric intake doubles somehow.. 2 oz makesyou legally drunk blah blah blah blah..  not good.  =(  and remember after surgery its reallly easy to become and alcoholic- (speaking for myself here)

good luck! pace yourself. 
(p.s. everyone i was a drunk before- and i can drink the same ammt if not more now..--scarry)
