Every once in awhile I like to have a few beers, what kind of drinks are good and has no carbonation to it? Unless you have a beer lol.

Hi I'm new to this site! 5 weeks today that I had the sleeve. I want to sip a glass of wine, but am afraid it is too early. How long did you wait post op before having any alcohol?

I waited till I was cleared by my Doctor at 6 months.

Ok thank you! No wine tonight.

I had the surgery 2 weeks ago and I had a glass of wine and a glass of blackberry brandy and both sit great but I found the taste budes changed unless since I have not drank a lot of sweet stuff that the brandy was really sweet.

Ty all, I was a high tolerance person, does the tolerance go down a lot? I drank all 70 to 100 proof liquor, should I get the lower proof stuff?

Yes. I used to drink a bottle of wine easy. 6 months out and I'm suffering a hangover from one glass.

My tolerance went down as well...

If you prefer the taste of the 70 to 100 proof, then you'll end up drinking less of it. If you want to drink more volume, then I'd suggest to get less proof.

You should be eating less calories than before surgery so that lowers tolerance.

You'll be weighing less so that lowers tolerance too.

I've learned to slow down and enjoy the drink more than just drinking to drink
