Basically, I was told I have a normal functioning stomach, it is just smaller than the average persons. I had my first drink at about two months out and did fine. I have a tough time with carbonated beverages unless I let them sit for awhile. I do best with wine or, my favorite, white Russians. I was making them with fat free milk, which was good, and recently tried it with almond milk and that was just as good. Post sleeve, I have found I am quite the light weight and I have to be careful as it only takes two drinks of anything for me to feel the effects.

A drink can me made at different levels. I had to have my cocktail post surgery so I know what I can handle. I can't drink like I use to but I know my body and what I can tolerate. My Dr specific instructions was to not rush it...BTW when I drink and drive its responsibly i lost my fiancée to a drunk driver. Trust I'm not drinking then getting right on the road..to each it's own everyone Dr is different.

How do you drink and drive responsibly?

I'm sorry but three weeks is rushing it by any doctors standards.

In high school my friend and I were hit by a driver who felt they never drank more than they could handle to be able to drive responsibly. I was lucky to get tossed to the side. Bonnie died crushed between the car and a guard rail. It wasn't a quick death. The woman who killed her seemed quite lucid as she walked away from the accident. Justify it all you wish but next time do it with the image of a 16 year old girl begging for her parents and vomiting blood for ten mins before she finally died.

This is a forum for open discussion not a judgment zone..yes I had me a cocktail and no need to justify anything to anyone becuz I'm a grown a$$ women. people like u that other people talk about in other forums. People can't have an open discussion with out the opinions of others..enjoy ur wine sweetheart and I will enjoy my ballini's (which is not as strong as your wine)!

Easy! Have me 1 drink, socialize for a few hours then drive home which is 3 min away! BTW I'm not drinking hard liquor or "wine" just a ballini

Drinking and driving is perfectly legal in this country. As long as you're not intoxicated.

Actually you said you had two which took two hours to drink which would still leave their effects in your system. Though you of course didn't know that because they were your first drink since being sleeved.

Btw, bellinis are made from wine. At cheap drive through shops, very cheap wine (sparkling wine or champagne). At three weeks drinking carbonation is foolish at best, but when it comes to testing your ability, testing it with a liquor which goes to your head naturally faster than other types of wine compounds your mistakes. You can not request a lower alchaol Bellini. They are pure sparkling wine over a little fruit juice, typically peach. Saying you had a light Bellini is like saying you had a light martini. It's kinda like being sorta pregnant.

When you attempt to argue your drink of choice my dear...know what the hell you are drinking.

And yes to be clear I am judging you and it's coming out badly. You sound just like the gal who killed my friend. You aren't drinking responsibly. You're just lucky.

Take a chill pill seems you taking things to the extreme! Once again it's a discussion forum not a confessional with the pope and even he can't judge. Relax, relate, release..(dropping the mic)

Everyone's body tends to have a different tolerance level for alcohol. What is important to remember is when we drink, we do responsibly and with an understanding of our bodies limitations. If we know we plan on drinking in excess, then as responsible adults we should have a plan in place prior to doing so for safe transportation home.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
