I was wondering if anyone has a hard time eating the day after they go out drinking? I have gone put drinking twice and both times the next day everything gets stuck. This is the only I have the issue of food? getting stuck.

Since being banded My drinking will consist of maybe a glass or two of wine so it doesn't effect my eating at all..

You didn't indicate how much you drank or ate after drinking but I would think excessive alcohol would be harmful.

Alcohol dehydrates you.

Most people when dehydrated find that their band tightens and it is harder to eat.

That's a very good point never thought of the dehydration issue! I don't think I'll be drinking heavy again.

Alcohol is really dehydrating. Make it difficult on the band because the body retains fluids.

if a drink alcohol I can eat more?! anyone else?

Nothing goes down except liquids for me:( hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!

I have had my band for 5 years now! was 180kg. Lost a total of 90kg. And Yes I find I have experienced both- having a few drinks helps me keep down a meal.

And also if I have had too much to drink the night before I can not keep anything down- not even Water. They aren't the best habits to get into! We need to respect the tool we have I help us lose weight.
