What do you drink when you go out to clubs or partys? How did you deal with a hangover since your not supposed to vomit?

Well I just dont drink. Make sure if you drink that you cound the calories in your day. Alcohol is just empty calories. I never want to be hung over again.

If I have a drink, I do so in moderation. I don't get drunk nor get hungover. I definitely wouldn't be so foolish to drink til I puke now that I'm banded.

none

like it up on your tracker the things you like do you really want to give you food for those drinks? Water for me please

Look it up sorry

I wonder this also, because my husband is in afghanistan and will be home in 23 days and I know I will want to celebrate and drink with him and his friends

I enjoy wine, in fact I have a glass every night before dinner. I have done this since day one of my journey. I count the calories (110 calories for 5 ozs) and I keep it in moderation.

My thought is don't deprive yourself of something you love, find a way to have it in moderation.

I drink. Drank through the whole losing period and the whole 5 years I've had the band. I don't drink everyday but I do have big nights out with my friends drinking. I know they're empty calories but I'm not about to stop living just because of my band. Same reason I still eat ice cream sometimes. If you chose to drink and have those empty calories, either work it off or don't moan if you don't lose fast. Simple.

Only once I got to the point of needing to vomit. It was horrendous. That once was enough. I've drunk a lot some nights but never ever to the point of needing to vomit, ever again. I drink slowly and steadily and I don't do shots. Shots are evil for bandsters, mmkay?

There is a video on YouTube from Banded Wendy around New Year's Eve. It was about the " ugly" of the band and it talked about her night out drinking. Very insightful.

Drinking with the band is tricky because very little goes a LONG way. You may want to try it out at home first until you know how it will effect you. I drink lemon drop Martina's when I go out. But like AJ I usually stick to wine. Red wine with all the calories that go along with it is good for you too. ( if its high quality, no boones farm and if its a glass or two.)

Being a banster instantly makes you a cheap date, and a tipsy one too! Heehee.

What are you wanting to drink?

I drink the same as I did before being banded..which means anything I want.........except for beer or anything carbonated...I waited over a year before "Learning" how this is done and getting to know my band well enough.....

Memorial day Picnic....I drank maybe 4 beers??? Incidentally I did not eat anything either, nothing there that was band friendly for me.....except chips and dip.

I always get a cocktail before dinner when we go out....NEVER drink while eating or soon after, learned that lesson the hard way......

I never drink to the point I'll vomit...sorry, those days are over......

And of course, there seems to be many people on this forum who are very much into dieting and calories counting....so you all need to know how drinking can de-rail

your diets....

Maybe this is sad to say, but I can handle any kind of drink. Now don't get me wrong, I don't over drink at all, but when I have a night out with my friends I can enjoy without getting sick.

I believe having a drink or two of any kind of alcohol is ok. One just needs to know their limits!

Toward, so are you able to beer? Carbonation?

Yes I can handle beer, mix drinks, and even shots of tequila with no problems.

I lost 80 lbs in 10 months. I drank a glass a night, counted the calories into my 1200 calorie diet.

I have been at goal/maintaining for 6 months now. I still have my wine & eat about 1200 calories a day.

So, yes I still lost weight.
