At 7 months out my drink of choice is vodka soda with lime so I dont drink a lot of sugar. I stir it a lot to kill the carbonation some. At 3 months I could only really tolerate wine. I tried vodka cranberry, skinny margaritas and blood Marys which all gave me heartburn. If heartburn isn't an issue for you worth a try.

Vodka and Water (or whatever alcohol you like) and stir in your own crystal light flavor. You get the alcohol without any carbonation and you choose the flavor. Hope this helps you out :D

Is drinking worth it on the sleeve? I used to drink quite a bit pre sleeve I think to fill empty voids in my life. Work was one stress after another when we did not know if the company would be around in a week due to the horrid economic conditions. Fortunately, I am in a much bigger and more stable company now. My point is, why not find some other ways to fill the empty voids? I was not always a drinker before the sleeve. In fact, it came on just a few years ago. One cocktail turned into a beer every day turned into quite a bit of hard liqueur. I am so glad to be done with that. It was just cold turkey. i decided not to be that person any longer. yes, There are days when I still look over at my liqueur stash ( my wife still drinks), but I hardly want it any more. The old head desires sometimes come back, but I am a new person now with a much brighter and new outlook on life. I am just trying to offer an opinion from my point of view. You can take it or leave it. If it helps you, then great.

I'm with ya on the alcohol, Andy. Had a good friend who had bypass and choose drink over food and died at 43 from alcohol poisoning...just not worth it to me!! too easy to switch addictions...I'd rather deal with my food issues with a clear mind. I go to Happy Hour regularly with friends, they are just as happy with iced tea and lemon. I do have other friends who are sleevers and they do drink wine in moderation...as Woody Allen says "what ever works".

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
