Belama 9 Posted March 7, 2013 After the sleeve, does anyone have a beer or glass of wine once in a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenhort 16 Posted March 7, 2013 I do, but I drink Bud select 55 or vodka with diet or rum with diet....it still makes me very sleepy later and the next day I have no energy. Everything else seems too sweet to me and since I count calories, its just not worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
takroom 192 Posted March 7, 2013 Yes, I stay away from beer (causes too much gas) & I will have wine or Malibu & Diet Coke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onelessfatgirl 103 Posted March 7, 2013 I was told no carbonated drinks what so ever but I can drink alcohol in moderation. So I'm anticipating that I'll drink wine and other mixed beverages that are carbonation free. I love my wine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aroundhky 1,174 Posted March 7, 2013 I have a glass of wine about every 2-3 weeks. I have had a few beers as well, but the bottled or can beers have way too much carbonation for my tummy, so the draft beer is a little easier to drink as it tends to have a little less carbonation. Just keep in mind that many sleevers tend to become a little addicted to alcohol after surgery, and there's also the whole "empty calories" thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanaMomto3 145 Posted March 7, 2013 I drink wine. I just make sure to drink it after I have had all my Protein and Water and that I have the calories left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted March 7, 2013 I will have wine once I meet my goal or a treat @ 1/2 way. (maybe this weekend) Beer sounds so yummy, but I haven't had carbonation for years and don't want to now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belama 9 Posted March 7, 2013 Thanks for the responses. I guess I will be the designated driver most of the time. I do like to wine taste when I get out to California. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
