My body plays jokes on me

[Nelly Lovchikova 6]

Hi all,

Just want to share something I noticed recently and couldn't understand for some time, but now it is clear.

I'm about two years out of surgery and I'm a happy skinny person, however occasionally I noticed very strange alcohol reaction. Here the story.

I was leaving my job and had a little departure party which I was really looking forward. When finally everybody gathered and we start drinking, I got ABSOLUTELY WASTED after two(!) glasses of white. Party was spoiled, I was embarrassed and probably loss fair part of my reputation there. I could not believed it, I was bearly able to stand straight and wasn't able to communicate at all. Normally at home I have 4-6 glasses of merlot and able keep myself midly drunk and happy, but that!

I was thinking a lot and than realised what happend. Due to sleeve surgery I don't really feel hunger ever and being excited about party I simmply forgot to eat. Consecutively, this couple whites hit me hard.

Well, I'm glad I know that now and can prepare for parties better.

Cheers

Since we have a very small stomach compared to body weight alcohol will have an outsized effect on post op sleevers. An empty stomach will just make it worse. Even if you dont "feel" drunk your Blood alcohol level will be higher per drink than someone your same weight with a normal size stomach. Use caution.
