Can you guys tell me how you've done with liquor after the band? Any non-carbonated drink suggestions?

I had my first and only "liquor" 2 months after surgery. It was a Mikes Hard Lemonade. I had no negative effects.

Ive had vodka cranberry and its fine. Doesn't hit me Any faster than before. I also live my red wine

I'm a big wine fan, was before surgery. I got some smaller glasses and limit myself to 1-2 a week.

I found some sugar-free margarita mix made with Splenda that isn't too terrible. I also love Diet Cranberry with Crown Royal and lime juice.

Just make sure you exercise more on the days you want to drink so you don't have to worry so much about the extra calories!

I'm 10 months post-op, down 55kg and obviously eating much smaller portions. Alcohol does affect me much more quickly than before. I won't drive now after even just one drink because I really have no sense of BAC. Fortunately (for me) I don't drink a lot because it interferes with dancing!

I cannot drink sodas at all. It means immediate hiccups. But I can drink beer and Mike's Hard Lemonade with no trouble. Just remember the calories.

You can drink beer? Since it's carbonated I was told I could never have again. That is the biggest thing I will mourn.

Vodka mixed with some crystal light! (I order vodka on the rocks...water, no ice and take a crystal light packet with me) It's good and it will make about 3-4 drinks easily!

Wine does very well for me still and it's my favorite but I'm not planning on drinking hard alcohol anymore. I get wasted so quick, it's horrible! I cannot handle it and I'm still over 200 lbs.

Vodak Water with Squeeze Lime!! But I get drunk very easy!!!

I had one limon and diet coke and could feel it faster. But I'm not much of a drinker anymore.

Wine! I love wine! But I can only have one glass cause any more and I am DRUNK!!

I cannot lose weight when I drink alcohol. Alcohol affects me way more now too. I can drink red wine,, vodka martinis, and skinny margaritas without gaining, everything else makes me gain.

I am Certain Beer is what Made me a Jolly Fellow!

I dont drink any Beer. I stick to the wine, and i stay away from the mix drinks since they contain so much more calories.....
