I can drink 1-2 glasses of wine, or sip on a shot I have even had a martini
very very slowly...but it all hits you very very fast...I had 4 glasses of
wine in just over 2 hours and was not good...just be really really careful,
binge drinking is a thing of the past, sip sip sip very very slowly and I
would sugges no more that 1-2 drinks at an outing..

I drink wine white Zin or is what i found is the best. Just make sure
whatever wine you pick is non carbonated, believe it or not some are.

I drink a couple of glasses of wine a week, I also have had a martini or
two. I have not had any side effects, but then again I can eat almost
anything I want without any side effects, I think the thing you have to
remember is that alcohol is just wasted calories, so decide when and how
much you might like to try.

Right now I am sipping a rum and coke. I am 2 months post-op and it really
doesn't have a different affect on me. I have a lap-band so I really do
not want alcohol to errode my band so I might do this once a month. It's
empty calories and i really need to work on dropping the habit.

I'm going on my third year post-op and find that I can drink anything, but
"feel" the effect much quicker! It would be easy to gain this way
too, so be cautious...

crystal light sugar free fruit punch and captain morgans or Malibu coconut
rum!
yum yum, everyone loves this drink! I buy the little powder packs that make
two liters, you can use crystal light or the walmart brand is just as good
or better!
No sugar and it tates great!

I had gastric by pass 8 months ago. I make sugar free jello shots with
Vodka when I want a drink. They digest easy and low calories.I tried wine
and I had bad heart burn.
