How well does everyone post op do with the drinking of alcohol? I know you can't drink it all the time because it inhibits weight loss but is once in a while okay? How does everyone feel when they do drink? Does it burn?

I have had the occasional drink. Sometimes it goes down ok and sometimes it does burn a bit. Only have to have one glass of wine though and that's enough. It always weakens my resolve though and makes me want to snack so I try to avoid it although I had a big row with my husband last night and drank more than I should have and feel rotten today. It's best to limit it in my opinion and enjoy occasionally.

Thanks:biggrin0:

I've never been a big drinker - however we were on a cruise last week and I decided to get a drink one evening -- it burned all the way down - I thought - probably just the first drink - so I had another - same result - then I added some water to it - didn't help - I gave up. I had the same results with some "rum punch" on one of our excursions - one sip and that was it! Guess drinking is off the list for me entirely now - which doesn't bother me all that much as it's just wasted calories anyway.

I get drunk much easier than I used (and I used to get drunk VERY easily). It's hard to hit that "mellow" spot. I'm either sober or slurring my words.

It doesn't burn any more than it used to though.
