mlachata 1 Posted January 30, 2012 Can you guys tell me how you've done with liquor after the band? Any non-carbonated drink suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legnarevocrednu 47 Posted January 30, 2012 I had my first and only "liquor" 2 months after surgery. It was a Mikes Hard Lemonade. I had no negative effects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lollicatt 36 Posted January 30, 2012 Ive had vodka cranberry and its fine. Doesn't hit me Any faster than before. I also live my red wine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellaloco 13 Posted January 30, 2012 I'm a big wine fan, was before surgery. I got some smaller glasses and limit myself to 1-2 a week. I found some sugar-free margarita mix made with Splenda that isn't too terrible. I also love Diet Cranberry with Crown Royal and lime juice. Just make sure you exercise more on the days you want to drink so you don't have to worry so much about the extra calories! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SageTracey 608 Posted January 30, 2012 I'm 10 months post-op, down 55kg and obviously eating much smaller portions. Alcohol does affect me much more quickly than before. I won't drive now after even just one drink because I really have no sense of BAC. Fortunately (for me) I don't drink a lot because it interferes with dancing!

Cocoabean 430 Posted January 31, 2012 I cannot drink sodas at all. It means immediate hiccups. But I can drink beer and Mike's Hard Lemonade with no trouble. Just remember the calories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Meow 12 Posted January 31, 2012 You can drink beer? Since it's carbonated I was told I could never have again. That is the biggest thing I will mourn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Papillon Princess 13 Posted January 31, 2012 Vodka mixed with some crystal light! (I order vodka on the rocks...water, no ice and take a crystal light packet with me) It's good and it will make about 3-4 drinks easily! Wine does very well for me still and it's my favorite but I'm not planning on drinking hard alcohol anymore. I get wasted so quick, it's horrible! I cannot handle it and I'm still over 200 lbs. 1 Brown Kameleon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kimberly Collins 15 Posted February 2, 2012 I cannot lose weight when I drink alcohol. Alcohol affects me way more now too. I can drink red wine,, vodka martinis, and skinny margaritas without gaining, everything else makes me gain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
