Sammy1991 97 Posted November 20, 2016 Hey, who drinks what when they go out with friends, like what non alcoholic drinks do you order at the bar? Are fizzy drink off the menu for life? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Kate_ 2,224 Posted November 20, 2016 It's advised not to drink fizzy drinks after surgery, however we are all told different things by different teams so go with what your surgeon tells you. If I go out, I tend to drink a slimline tonic Water, with lemon or lime in it. It looks like a gin and tonic. It usually lasts me all night and I sip it slowly. In between sips I might burp like a navvy though haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisredjeep 357 Posted November 23, 2016 Ha I'm with you on that one Kate., but I still can't drink fizzy so I have a glass of wine and it lasts all night or the dreaded J20. God I'm a cheap date now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meeb 8 Posted December 13, 2016 How long did you leave it before you tried alcohol? I'd like a drink at Xmas, I'll only be 4 weeks post sleeve though... Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klette0147 91 Posted December 13, 2016 7 weeks. A bit early, I know, but only a little at a time. I think it depends on the individual and how you/your sleeve is coping. Also, how you are coping with food. Be safe. Sent from my SM-T550 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
