When can I have an adult beverage? Wine? Margarita?

Thanks

My doc said not for one year! However, I had alcohol, about 3 months out. I have a cocktail every once in a while now, maybe two twice a month. I was never a big alcohol drinker...well, I worked at a winery for 12 years and I definitely consumed my share and more over those years which was 15 or more years ago. Beer, absolutely fills me up with just a half of beer now. I might have one or two glasses of wine and/or cocktails on a weekend night (but I don't do ones with sweet fillers), just a martini or fresh margarita and I'm feel super happy!

I say use your own judgement. You might be able to have a cocktail or two or...your sleeve just might not tolerate it. Keep in mind...alcohol is still high calories, high sugar, and for me at least it seems to hit me much stronger than before being sleeved.

One Love.

It will depend on your guidelines. The only thing I will add is that some sleevers do dump, and alcohol seems to be one of the things that triggers it. It's not super common, so I'm not talking about an odds-are situation, but when you can drink it, maybe start with small sips and wait generous amounts of time between. :)

Alcohol, orange juice, corn, and Syrup are (that I can remember) all things that have reportedly caused dumping in more than one person.

That last sentence almost made sense.

I started trying sips of rum & coke right around 7 weeks post op, but it didn't sit very well. I tried again at 8 weeks p.o. and have been able to drink a little here and there ever since. It def does not take as much to get me a little tipsy now though!

What is a mixed drink that doesn't have any soda or fizzy stuff? I drink very rarely but am going out with a friend next week and was thinking of a drink. But I can't do the fizz.

Try something with fruit juice Most places have a bunch of different flavored of martinis that don't use bubbles

Skinny girl makes all kinds of low fat alcohol beverages including wines. None of them are carbonated.

I'm not a big alcohol drinker so I've had limited types of drinks, but there are two things I will drink, that taste good to me if mixed properly. One is an amaretto sour. No soda or fizz. Amaretto (I prefer Disaronno) and sweet/sour mix (which you can find SF). I like them shaken with ice, and a cherry. If I had any desire to get drunk, this would be my drink of choice. :)

#2 is a blended drink - frozen strawberry margarita made with Tequila Rose. I can't begin to describe how good this is. Not a mixed drink, but it needed its props too.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
