I like to drink beer over ice and smooth it out. I feel my cup full and have no problems. If I try and drink it with out the ice its to strong and the sleeve acts up. So I drink 1 can and sometimes a half. So far no problems and I drink it pretty slow.

I am two years post op. I will be very honest here. For a while (about 6 months)...I was drinking a lot. It was easy for me to drink away my feelings. I was addicted to food. It was involved in everything I did. When I woke up in the morning I thought about food' date=' when I was eating my Breakfast I was wondering what was going to be for lunch....and so on. With the sleeve I was no longer able to eat away my feelings, but a few shots could fit easily, and it numbed me. I was partying a lot. When my oldest daughter said something to me about my drinking to much it hit me hard. I realized that I needed to get myself in check. So I started addressing it in therapy. I am one of the lucky ones who saw there was a potential for an addiction, and so I did something about it. So yes, it is very easy for sleevers to get a cross over addiction. I caution all sleevers to take this very seriously. Drinking on special occasions can be done, but I highly recommend being very careful not to indulge past that. Good luck! [/quote']

Thank you for your honesty and candor.
