You are human and it happens. I had more than a few drinks a couple months out. Just remember it is empty calories and lots of sugar.

off with your head now..........why wasnt i invited??

you have already peed it out, back to your regularly scheduled program....

My Dr said drinking wouldnt due any harm to the band.....it would just hurt my weight loss.

As others have said...alcoholic beverages are empty calories. The other information which you need to be aware of is that less alcohol is needed now to feel the effects of it. I was also strongly advised by my surgeon to wait an entire year before having even a glass of wine.

True confessions...when I was not quite 5 months out since surgery I attended a party and the hostess makes the best Jello shots. I could not resist, and ended up having 2...and was thankful that I did not have to drive. No harm done...

It's no biggie, other than the calories.

Beer could be problematic, since it can stretch your pouch...

But non-carbonated alcohol is no problem as far as the band goes. Just limit yourself so as not to put too many calories.

I had a bottle of wine last week and I'm less than 2 months out. I was told just nothing with bubbles or any types of beer.

i have very little tolerance for the 1 drink i like , im limited to an occasional strawberry margarita ,so 3 months out i had 3 sips of a margarita at a mexican restaurant and ohhhh, big mistake !! now i had even less tolerance and ended up in the bathroom and parking lot and lost everything ! i can handle a homemade margarita but for some reason not the restaurant ones. so beware your tolerance may be different with the type of alcohol, time of month, etc.......

thnks everyone makes me feel better im human and couldnt resist a drink, i dont go out much and thats the only time i feel the need for a drink, once or twice a year wont hurt i guess!
