When did anyone start drinking alcohol.?

My doctor said one month. I went 3 weeks and had a glass of wine with my friends. No problems but it is empty calories.

My doctor said 1 month out. I had 3 glasses of wine 2 months out and was fine

I waited 4 months I do enjoy an average of 3 beers at week. Have since about 6-7 month post op. currently 19 months out :-)

I was told a year by my nut. I've been secretly having a little wine though

My doctor said 1 month out. I had 3 glasses of wine 2 months out and was fine

Is that all at once? With the sleeve, 3 will probably cause pretty severe intoxication. Heck, one glass of wine makes us drunk.

I had 1 glass of champagne at 4 months and it made me so sick, and it tasted like vinegar. Haven't touched anything since.

One glass of wine does not get me drunk. 3 shots of whiskey though does the trick

Is it true u get really drunk fast.

I had a vodka cranberry last weekend and didn't get sick or even tipsy. It seems like some people get drunk faster and some ppl it isn't any different than before surgery. For me it's the latter...so unfortunately I'm not as cheap of a date as I wanted!

Having some wine now...really no difference in how buzzed I get from preop ..4 months out..3 or 4 glasses of wine so fine...I actually lose more after a night of a few drive.KS. wine is my new sweets...haven't had sweets in 5 months

I'm 5 months out and have not had a cocktail yet. I'll wait, I'm in no rush alcohol will be there when I'm ready.

What about a pint of Guinness? Or two? Anyone know impact? Have not tried any beer post sleeve yet and maybe Guinness is too bubbly.

I experimented at about 7 mos preop. I used to enjoy beer- not so much now. It just doesn't taste good. I stick to patron gold. I get buzzed pretty quick, but I rebound quickly. I tried a margarita while out with the girls and it was too much. I felt sick. So, I stick to my old reliable- TEQUILA!

I used to enjoy apple martinis on business trips. Those were really good. I am not much of a drinker since being sleeved, but it is nice to only need one.

Has anyone tried a long island? Another prior favorite. I bet those take your sleeve for a ride.
