Beer?

[NYGMEN 0]

So i was banned on 1/25/08 and have been happy so far. But I have not had ANY soda or beer since. I don't really want soda, I'm happy with Propel and CL. But i would love to have a beer from time to time. I hear a number of reasons for not having it. From the gas will do something to the band to it hurts if you try and drink it. So has anyone had a tap beer and if so how has it been?

You have to temper it. If it hurts going down I wouldn't have it. I drink champagne on a regular basis without problem. You need to just try it to see if it gives you any gas or backup problems. Enjoy.

I haven't had in any in 6 months but took a sip of my husbands beer last weekend. First sip was okay. the second felt funny so I stopped immediately. I dind't want to go there. I miss my beer too. But I have switched to an occasional glass of wine or a small bloody mary with V8 instead. I works for me.

Yeah, I'm thinking this summer on a hot day that a cold beer would hit the spot but I'm afraid it may be more trouble than it's worth.

I haven't had my surgery yet but my doc told me I couldnt have alcohol for a year after surgery then I could drink again in small amounts.

I drank beer regularly up until my last fill. I had 7ccs in a 10cc band and drank beer fine. Now I have 9ccs and can't get it to go down. I guess i'll quit drinking beer, but taquila has no bubbles in it.

Alcohol and the band is a funny thing. Be careful when you decide to experiment with it. It now packs a punch. I went to Vegas recently with my DH and went to an awesome tower overlooking the city for drinks. I had two small martinis. I don't remember going down the elevator or leaving that place, or riding in the taxi. That's scarey. I wasn't like that prior to a band, so BE CAREFUL.

I am at 2.5 in a 4cc and drink beer on my days off and don't have any problems if I drink slowly.Just keep in mind all those useless empty calories.
