Sure....just watch if it has carbonation. Carbonation can HURT!

Try to find something lower carb and lower sugar. Skinny Girl makes some good stuff. I had my first drink at 4 months out-a Bloody Mary-and I couldn't finish it and didn't even get a buzz! Since then, I really have no interest, lol. I may pick it back up once I'm to goal.

@@Babbs is right you can drink but not very much and depending on what it is. I tried cranberry and vodka and couldn't do it because it was too sweet. Then I tried a beer and one sip filled my stomach with air. Tried a shot of makers mark....oh boy that was horrible! I felt the burn all the way inside. lol but yeah you can drink, not much but you can if you find the right drink for you. I'm still trying to find mine.

8 weeks out and had my first one last week. I DID get a buzz so be careful. Definitely no carbonation and do realize those are empty calories and full of sugar. Enjoy in moderation!

As ShrinkingPeach said, be careful with the amounts you drink. I've never been much of a drinker, but post-op, it REALLY doesn't take much to get me hammered! And it hits me fast too. I'm a happy drunk, so I tend to enjoy the effects it has on me. :-P

If you are going to have anything with carbonation, try pouring it over ice first. And sip real slow, I can still remember how little I could eat at one time when I was at 2 months... I was only able to eat 1/2 cup of food per meal. Frankensleeve was still swollen and cranky!

I waited until 5.5 months post-op to have a real glass of wine (a full 4 ounces).

I'm glad I waited, because after that I started having a glass of wine 5 nights a week.

Actually, it didn't slow my weight loss at that point, because by then I was already up to 1,000 cals/day. But at 800 cals/day (what I was eating Months 2-4) I think I'd have lost some necessary nutrition.

But that was just my experience. You do what you think you should do. :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
