Oh my.. I was already feeling a drink after 1.. even with all this body weight on me now! I don't drink often, but I'm curious too.. I don't want any nasty surprises in a year or so ;)

Yes, I feel it faster. I can have a drink or two over several hours and be OK, but if I drink more than 3, I have had too much.

I got pretty tipsy after two glasses of wine, but I think it's because it's been so long since I've had a drink.

I had 3 glasses of wine at a girls night out last night and I was tipsy. It used to take 6-8 just to get tipsy.

It's pretty funny, I'm such a cheap date now, don't need dinner, get tipsy off 3 wines hahahah

I definitely get a buzz earlier with only 2 or 3 beers. It used to take me a six pack before I would start feeling good. I think the ratio for me is 1beer=3beers, so its good I'm drinking less to get intoxicated.

No change for me. I am still able to drink like before being sleeved. However I can sober up really fast.

No change as far as getting a buzz quicker, but I sober up super fast though.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
