j76lynn 0 Posted March 12, 2013 I was told 6 months but I think it is due to empty calories and then if you get drunk you may eat without thinking. I had crystal light and vodka about two weeks ago and I had a slight buzz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j76lynn 0 Posted March 12, 2013 oh, and I'm 4-1/2 months out and had the sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveNZ 219 Posted March 12, 2013 Is that all at once? With the sleeve' date=' 3 will probably cause pretty severe intoxication. Heck, one glass of wine makes us drunk.[/quote'] "us" is a bit of a sweeping statement ... One ... two .... three glasses does not make me drunk. I had a bottle of wine 3 months out .... nothing sad face cos I was really hoping to be a cheap drunk!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SMO 193 Posted March 12, 2013 Folks should exercise caution with the booze. One of my friends is four years out and has gained 40 if the 100 pounds she lost due to wine consumption. She says it goes down very easy and she also does not get drunk quickly. It is dangerous stuff in more ways than one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdonaldf 84 Posted March 12, 2013 I have had 3 or 4 glasses in a night. Only drink once a week or at a sporting event. I'm 6 foot 2 and finally under 300 pounds but honestly I don't get very buzzed on that...just nice to enjoy a drink with the guys at a sporting event. Although I do get crap about drinking wine when they are drinking manly beers. Weight still falling off so it seems to b ok for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Success2013 186 Posted March 12, 2013 I had a vodka cranberry last weekend and didn't get sick or even tipsy. It seems like some people get drunk faster and some ppl it isn't any different than before surgery. For me it's the latter...so unfortunately I'm not as cheap of a date as I wanted! I'm like you. I was looking forward to getting tipsy on less, but it seems to affect me no differently than before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do love my wine but have decided to give up cheap white wine and when I get to the point when I can enjoy a glass again I have vowed to only drink good red wines and enjoy a glass once a week or so.

Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted March 12, 2013 The only harm alcohol causes us is empty calorie weight gain. Most likely people get drunk more quickly due to the fact you have abstained from alcohol for a good bit of time. Your tolerance is different. I used to enjoy a couple glasses of wine every night, but 2 now is way different. I don't do it simple because I'm still trying to make goal and wine is way off my course. It's a mind set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
