New1 201 Posted July 17, 2012 I stole this from another vst member but I like any shot of hard liquor on the rocks with a few drops of Mio. Sip slowly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piper 13 Posted July 17, 2012 I can handle white wine with plenty of ice however, it can give me heartburn that evening if I have more than one cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gastricsleeve4me 186 Posted July 17, 2012 Oh my goodness - thank you for all the replies!! This was awesome!! So, the update: 1) The second date went very well We're off to a third on Wednesday. He has no clue about the surgery - figure I'll tackle that at some point down the line when it seem more appropriate. Just avoiding dates around meals at this point 2) I went for a infused strawberry vodka with a bit of lime juice. I decided to splurge slightly since I planned my calories for it and I wasn't planning on drinking much 3) I told the bartender I was a lightweight and asked him to take it easy on me. All I could think was, here I am on a second date...the last thing I need to do is get smashed unexpectedly, lol 4) I BARELY drank half. It felt good to have it there as an accessory so I didn't feel super-lame in the bar, but I felt no need to push it 5) I had no reaction to it. I did get a little warm at one point, didn't feel tipsy though, and felt a "weirdness" like a wave in my stomach at one point just for a moment 6) My Dr does say to take Prilosec..I totally thought about it earlier today and forgot!! I didn't drink much, but will definitely try to remember this for the future. Poor sleevie...sorry, buddy! So, a success on all fronts. Now I know I can have something, sipped slowly...perhaps I'll try again on date #3 on Wed! After reading what's here, and also looking online, red wine actually seems like a pretty decent choice Thanks ALL!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggychic 1,405 Posted July 17, 2012 Here's a fun drinking scenario....I have a charity martini party on the 17th which will be pre op. so no drinking. I will be doing this entirely sober in a huge blonde Afro and a kagpftan of yellow orange and green with five inch platforms....yes a 70s party. I'm not sure it's legal to wear that get up sober....lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
