A Little Drink



Recommended Posts

How long do you think one should wait after getting banded to have a glass of wine?

I think it was about 1 week for me, I had a glass of bubbly, and then a week later it was Christmas so I had more glasses!

I generally am happy to have a drink whenever I go out or over to mum's for dinner or anything like that however these days I have one, before dinner and then stop drinking. I'm still open enough that if I had 2 or 3 I'd say "what the hell" and overeat, the way alcohol tends to make you do.

I dunno..

I drank like a pint of southern comfort this weekend..

The next day i was FINE, no hangover.. at all.

Then 8 hours later I am driving in the wind and rain on windy roads (8 hours after waking up, not after drinking) and I feel extremely sick and nausious.

Since I NEVEr get car sick, and since I NEVEr have got 'hung over' Hours and hours later.. I was all worried.. I wondered if I was getting a Migrane but it never came (driving a long way)

Then I Had to make my self puke to releive the Nausia (spell??)

AND this was the first time I have Puked since having the band..and it was sooooooooo weird.

Threee HUGE Burps came out... then alittle bit of stomach acid..(I had ate about 1/2 cup of clam chowder about 4 hours before but it was long gone)

My date and my daughter had never heard of such a sound in there lives as that Burp slash throw up..

It was interesting indeed.

I still dont know if it was from the drinking, but I would assume..

Very different than getting sick prior to the band,..

I got my band a year ago and I dont drink even once a month..

and NEVEr in this whole year did I drink so much as a pint of 100 proof booze and In the past I would of been sick as soon as I got up and all day hungover..

Its real weird how I was perfectly fine for 8 hours after I woke up..

(NO, I wasnt still drunk.. lol)

there, thats my alcohal story of the year..

(P>S> I had a friggin BLAST)

Jacqui - you had bubbly - I thought carbonation was probated? But you did fine - Yeah!

My anniversary is coming up and we always Celebrate with champane. This year I was feeling dissapointed that we wouldn't be able to. Since you handeled it fine I think I'll keep up the tradition - 20 yrs!!!.

Nykee - I'm planning to keep your experience in mind and not over do it!

I had a drink the night after my surgery... I barely could drink the whole glass... (oh I wish I could do that now) So Thursday I had surgery and Friday night I had a vodka and juice drink and drank half of it...

Now I can drink anything from Beer, to mixed drinks to wine..... I guess it just depends

I had a glass of wine after 2 weeks. Actually I had 3!!! I had no problems but be careful, it seems like I get tipsy on much less now.

Thats a fact for me. before i was banded i could pound shot after shot of tequila. back during my band practices i would put away anywhere from a pint to a 5th of the stuff and still not be "sloppy" drunk.

now ,, one tequila,(boy that tastes good) two tequila,(boy i m starting to feel good) three tequila FLOOR (ouch)!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
