I am wondering what drinks do you guys drink after surgery? I had a baybreeze and had the worst gas pains!!

Yeah it is, I just had visions of it when you said that.

Now it's going to haunt me when I sleep...

Are you calling me a fairy?!

All of you are in time out!! Go to bed right now!!!

I'm off to have dinner. My partner has made Zuchini, Pea and broad bean salad with Ricotta Bruschetta. Gotta love that man!

Alcohol for me goes down crazy good. I can have 2 bud light and be super buzzing. At almost 300 calories for those 2, it was dinner and my snacks that day but not problems with the bubbles.

Vodka cranberries were my fav pre op and my go to post op. haven't had one in almost 2 months, went crazy when I did though and had a lot of cranberries with double shots of kettle one. I surprisingly wasn't as drunk as I thought I would be though. But I use to hold my liquor very well pre op so maybe that was it? Or maybe I was super drunk and just didnt notice lol.

Nice! - washed down with a cheeky cask moselle?? :P

I drink white wine and had a few vodka crans on the weekend with low cal cranberry. I wish I was a cheap date but I'm not unfortunately It's the same for me as before except I can't drink as fast.

I can't believe I got yelled at for liking cheese.

Boo to mean people!

NO CHEESE FOR YOU MISSY!!!

Cheese rocks!

Wow' date=' ok. Well she didn't ask IF you were drinking. She asked those who are drinking what they prefer to drink. If you don't agree then don't post. Preaching or off-subject opinions are not needed. Keep it to yourself and keep moving. I don't get why people feel the need to post at all if they have no valuable input to the topic.

Anyway, I did my research when I was dieting pre-op and one of the lowest carb drinks is vodka soda. For me, the taste isn't that great so I will add a splash of cranberry juice or try to bring my own Crystal Lite packets for flavor. I've been sticking to that or wine. My NUT recommended it as generally the lowest carb/calorie drink. I used to be a big beer drinker but I cannot tolerate it anymore. Even almost 8 months out I cannot do the carbonation. I do get an occasional craving but I don't miss it that much though.

My doctor's guidelines were no alcohol for six months. I did pretty well with it, just a few exceptions. I talked to my NUT about it because I was hosting my BFF's bachelorette party at four months out. She said the main reason they say that is not only because of the empty calories but because you tend to make poor eating decisions when you are drinking. That can be what you choose to eat or grazing or drinking when eating. So just be mindful and do your research![/quote']

Wow you came out swinging is it necessary ?

I didn't really jave a drink till i was 6 months out. I think for everyone alcohol works differently you have to see what works for you. I found vodka, with water and lots of fresh lime wedges suits me best. Theres no carbonated drink added so you dont suffer from gas though luckily at 1 yr out if i choose to i can pretty much consume anything in moderation
