Booze?

I know my surgeon told me that after I'm sleeved in June that carbonation is out. So no more jack and diet cokes. What about wine? Anyone know If wine or an occasional beer or a drink without coke is allowed? I not a big drinker, but no wine or coffee will be rough!

I posted the same question in the mans room. Wine seems not to be a problem and one person is okay with diet coke and jack. As far as coffee I plan to cut back but not totally exclude it. I drink it black anyway. Good luck

Thanks. I guess everyone reacts differently.

At my 6 week checkup I was cleared for alcoholic drinks (I'm not a big drinker, but asked because I had a family thing coming up) I was told wine and non carbonated things are ok in moderation, just watch anything with very sugary juices because of the "empty calories" also, no beer (carbonation) good luck!

I enjoy a beer, wine or White Russians on occasion with no problems. Well, no problems other than since getting the sleeve I have become a total lightweight when it comes to alcohol. One or two drinks and I am the life of the party, lol.

Wine is pretty good after a few months. Not something to abuse, but good to relax with. Make sure you know the time table for when to introduce according to your doctor. Mine said post 3 months if I recall correctly.

Laura probably remembers my live post from the Italian restaurant in Jan 2013 where I was throwing it all in the wind with a 35 glass of fine Chardonnay at a very fine Italian restaurant.

I was tipsy and having a good time with my wife after my first 1/2 glass and had trouble walking after one glass. It was a very full wine, so I think that matters when you choose one. Need less to say, I started in on a second glass and only made it one or two sips before getting an upset stomach. Waste of a glass. I think I probably drank it too fast @ 10 minutes. The effects wore off after 20 minutes.

I had wine a second time @olive garden See, I do not discriminate as long as they offer the good stuff. Lol. One glass this time. Same drunken walk experience. This was in February 2013. Post 7 months. The effects wore off after 10 minutes.

For the final alcohol test..ERM... experience, I tried drinking a Dangerous Dave from Dave's BBQ ( national franchise). It was basically a Long Island with a few other spirits thrown in. I was able to drink 2 of these which was very surprising. Needless to say, I was woozie for a good 3 hours after that and it did not hit all at once. Came in waves. Probably won't do that again, but it was a tasty mix. This was in march 2013. Post 8 months.

I think wine is good to have, but for me, I will stick with 1/2 glass or less if it is full so I can still speak intelligently with others at the table and not fall over on the way to the mens. Lol. If it is lightweight like Moscato, then maybe I could do two glasses.

Anyone care to share experiences with Moscato? Last time I had Moscato was at 2 am in a little cafe in Roma tucked back in an alley way. Per surgery at that time.

No problem with Moscato. I have a few favorite places in Roma myself. I do wish Pasta would go down a little easier....

Where are your favorite places? I may get over there on business in a couple months.
