I was sleeved Sept 18 th and have lost 70 pounds!! I feel great and in size 12 jeans???????? I have tries to have a sip of a cocktail and it still sets my stomach on fire!!!!!! You would think 6 months out it would not burn. Any body else doing this?!???

I don't have a problem having any kind. But that might be a good thing for you...not being able to drink...there are a lot of empty calories you are avoiding!

I don't drink very often, but an occasional social drink would be nice. I just don't understand why it burns. I guess I need to ask my doc.

It will get better with time. I am a year and 7 months post op. I really enjoy going out with the girls. You will get there...just be patient!

Hi Syd. We were sleeved the same day. Currently I've lost 80 pounds! Congrats on your success so far. I've been out a few times for cocktails since surgery and haven't experienced the burning you have. It does take much less alcohol to get a buzz now though. Maybe try a different drink? I know that some favorite foods from presurgery don't settle well now so maybe it would be the same with the alcohol. Good luck!!

Now I want to know if anyone is having a problem with the alcohol effecting you more now? Getting drunk to easily?
