Drinking After Vsg

[healthiermom 27]

New sleever,just wondered what beer wine ect how it settles with a sleever? I know ppl do drink occasionaly after. I just DONT want to get sick.

I was sleeved 6/28. I have had a white Russian on select occasions since surgery. I was 3 months out before I had my first one. I have never finished an entire drink, and I have never gotten sick.

Two months out and I had a small glass of moscato wine, it was yummy! No ill effects.

I have a glass of wine once in a while and it doesn't bother me but I have a sleeve of steel I think. I've tried other things and they don't bother me either but I had a bad reaction with a margarita, but I think that was because I was eating and drinking it at the same time.

I drink whine and liquor... I was told to avoid carbonation after surgery (the fizz can expand your pouch) I usually cannot have more than a glass at a time... Im 4 1/2 months out!

Do you feel you get drunk faster but for a shorter period of time? That's what my doctor said would happen.

I am about 13 weeks out maybe...I've lost count (Aug 23rd first surgery). I have wine on occasion. I can drink much less than I used to, much slower as well, but I don't get toasted easier as many say they do. I don't drink champagne right now because of bubbles...have to wait six months, and I don't drink hard liquor. I don't drink anything fast so I suppose part of my not getting drunk is how long it takes to drink anything.

Halloween night I probably had three glasses of wine total...maybe less, (we had a huge party at our house and I kept losing my glass LOL) but I certainly never got tipsy at all.

I used to enjoy several cocktails a week before the sleeve. I thought I would mount the loss of Happy Hours in my life. I do drink occasionally, usually a gin and tonic w/lime or chardonnay. I never have more than one-1 12 drinks...sometimes I don't even finish one drink. I simply can't drink more!

I have had wine, but don't think that I really felt the effects any faster. Then again it may be that I don't drink nearly as much as I did before. Its acidic and the enjoyment only lasts just so long. I've also had light cranberry juice with vodka with no problems.

One thing that I have noticed is that my keytones are much lower if I drink something. I guess that if you drank enough it would throw you completely out of ketosis.

depends on what you drink.
