Alchohol And The Band?



Recommended Posts

I had a funny/ not so funny experience with alcohol. I had 2 drinks of Grand Marnier on the rocks over a 3 hour period. When I got up to leave it hit me.....I can't remember the last time I felt so drunk......it obviously sat in my stomach, and didn't "filter through". Since then I tried a mixed drink and it seems to be ok. I'm sticking with the mixed drinks, without carbonation...

You can have it... Just no carbonation.

But I would suggest you consider the calories and count them into your daily intake or may wonder why you're not losing weight.

Yes, you can, but you have to take into consideration that it is a lot of empty calories. My Doctor did not recommend it in large quantities.

Stay away from carbonation, plan for the calories ahead of time, amd do not drink large amounts of alcohol right before you go to sleep! I'm trying to find the article I read so I can post it here. It was about consuming large amounts of alcohol and falling asleep before its had time to exit your band and it can cause you to asperate in your sleep!

Great question. I have a question, how long after band surgery should one try and introduce wine or alcohol?
