That's all i wanted to say

I tried to make it 12 months, but that crap is for the birds...

I wonder what the best first drink is?? I'm such a beer drinker, but don't want the carbination i haven't had carbination at all...

I'm afraid vodka will knock me out, and i don't do wine... Humm not a bunch to choose from, sugary stuff makes me caca..

Ok let me think about this, i should have planned better

I've heard if you do like beer to do a draft beer, helps cut down on the carbonation. Enjoy your drink.

Vodka canberry should be ok.....if its too strong order a bottle of water after to help flush it.

Had a jager bomb at about 3 months. Loveddddd it. And still enjoy them.

Drink slowly.First one I had knocked me lights out!Thank goodness we were not in public...lol

Enjoy!

I hated wine UNTIL I had surgery. I love red wine and sangria now. My first drink was a vodka infused stawberry lemonade. Pretty sure it was all sugar. Then I did vodka-cran for the rest of the night. I drank beer at about 5 months out. No huge issues. If I chug, sometimes I'll feel a slight tightness but nothing too too bad. and sometimes just to avoid it, I pour my beer into a glasss before I drink it so that it flatens out a little. Now, here's the fun part; Get drunk WAAAYYY faster. No hangovers, Im assuming cause it filters through so fast? the down side to that is, I only stay buzzed for a little while. Example - 3 beers will get me buzzed, but if stop, in 30 mins Im sober. Have fun, be careful, and just play around a lil until you find what works for you.

My first drink was just a shot of whiskey...haha,, I was buzzed in about 2 minutes!

I wasn't a wine drinker either until after surgery. I don't mind it now and actually kind of like it on the rare occasion I want a drink. I've tried a beer twice (my pre-surgery drink of choice) and the carbonation is too rough on me. I can't even drink half of one now due to it causing issues with my sleeve and feeling extremely uncomfortable. Oh well wine and whiskey for me from now on if I want a drink. These posters are right about it affecting you quickly....you may want to ease into it if you decide to have that drink. Good luck!

Skinny girl sugar free cosmo mix with vodka!

LOLOLOLOL I have been wondering about how soon I will be able to drink again too! Good for you! I feel like I'm the alcoholic that never likes to get drunk but loves to have a glass or two of wine every night. Man am I going to miss that!!!!! But like everyone said above- you get drunk easily- makes for a cheap date! All the best to you!

I'm 2.5 weeks post and dying for a margarita. Meeting the girls tonight...not sure how I'm going to play this one as they do not know I had the surgery. Me not drinking and not eating much may raise brows. I might just order but not eat. Any suggestions?

I'm about 5.5 months post op and I still don't drink beer, I just rather not have the carbonation either. But oh how I'd like to chug a Bud Light Chelada! Lol my favorite drink now is Grey Goose vodka w clamato (like a bloody Mary) I get tipsy w my first glass, my hubby luvs it! Lol But the buzz does go away way fast and like others mention the good thing is NO HANGOVERS ) Drink and have fun!!

keepin it real

Last week, 1/2 vodka margarita totally messed me up. Not only was I toasted, I ended up throwing it back up to the point of dry heaves. Guess I'm not ready yet.

Bloody mary.i was also a beer drinker

Just tell them you haven't been feeling well. That you have a stomach flu ore something.

If you want to watch calories and carbs... Flavored vodka and water. I love the Three Olives Loopy. It taste just like fruit loops. Sip slow. Personally, I will be 4 months tomorrow and alcohol burns my stomach. And I was quite the drinker. Beer and soda hurt too much because of the bubbles and air. But hopefully when I do go back my plan is the vodka and water. Also crystal light have those mocktinis, just add liquor!
