Question about Alcohol ????

[aamandddaaaahunt 7]

So I'm guilty of being worried if I can drink again after this surgery. I'm pretty much a social drinker but I am super social. I pretty much go out drinking with my friends every weekend being that I'm in my college/party part of life. I hate beer and I don't really like fruity cocktails I'm more of a straight liquor drinker like ciroc, grey goose, absolute, etc. And while on my pre surgery diet I would even chase with crystal light. I'm hoping I can continue drinking what I drink after, just much less lol. If you have any experience let me know!!!

I am curious also ? I have my sleeve May 28 (Dr Aceves) so I will be off the booze for awhile. But I do enjoy a glass of Lambrusco while I watch my TV (True Blood, Dexter, Borgias, Homeland, etc). Wondering if I will be able to sub some wine on the rocks as part of my "liquids" ? or will alcohol cause problems after a couple months post-op ?

You will be able to drink post op. I had a couple drinks about 6-8 weeks out. Calorie wise, alcohol isn't a good choice though.

You will still be able to consume alcohol. The volume consumed will be far smaller.

You are able to consume it, but you will want to be careful as most sleevers find it takes very little for them to become intoxicated.

Lol @ being super social. I've had a drink occasionally since surgery. I can't drink even half of it. I've decided the best route would be to order a shot of whatever I intend to drink and maybe an orange juice to go with it.

I haven't tried it yet but since we are all curious maybe I'll try it out today and post the results:)

If you make it to two shots, please post video instead!

I have wine each Friday and Saturday night. On Friday, about 1/3 of the way into my glass, I can feel it. On Saturday, I'm fine.

My husband and I enjoy wine together and I want to continue this but I have to account for it. It was easier when I had a hard time getting to 600 calories a day but now I am up to about 800, those calories have got be owned and have to really be careful those days so I don't get light on my Protein either.

It's good to know less will go a long way post surgery lol, I was also wondering about that.
