Nothing carbonated. Otherwise, yes you can drink. The no drinking rule in general is because you are taking in liquid calories with little nutritive value. So you should make a choice that is as low cal and/or low sugar as you can get. My personal choice is Vodka and sugar free Cranberry juice but there are many other mixed drink choices out there. You also could have wine.

Some say that driking can throw the metabolism off for a few days. I don't drink a lot but enjoyed quite a few on my last vacation and didn't find that it set me back on weight loss any. Either way, it is personal choice to let loose on special occasions and personally, I would go for it.

Good luck on your "Tax Day" surgery (that is my DH's B-day) and have a wonderful and safe prom night!

I wouldn't recommend it! Not because I'm "old", OR because I'm a mother, OR because you're underage...but because you will have a new lap-band that hasn't settled into place yet. You will still be healing, and most likely not be eating solid foods yet.

When prom night rolls around, you will not have had much to eat for the past 6-8 weeks. You won't be eating much that day/night, then you'll add alcohol on top of that. It will take a lot less alcohol to do way more damage than ever before. If you drink to the point where you throw up, then you risk damaging your band and having major problems. You made the decision to have the surgery so that you can be healthy. Don't take a chance on losing all that for a night of drinking. It's just not worth it. And, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to drink later, when you are completely healed.

Have a happy and safe prom night!

I would say that drinking is okay as long as you do it in moderation. Becareful not to over do yourself because you really aren't eating that much.

Stay away from carbonated drinks... I have a glass (or two!) of red wine with dinner some nights or maybe a lo-cal vodka drink (like the one suggested above)!

Have fun and just listen to your body! Nothing wrong with having a good buzz on prom night! :eek:
