I seriously doubt that but I sense there is more to this story...

[CowgirlJane 14,261]

Did a holiday night on the town with a couple of girlfriends. I outweigh em both by at least 30#, but I got so hammered on the same amount they drank. We were safe and nothing bad happened but I feel awful today. Our uber driver sent us a text saying what a fun night HE had-ha. Apparently I told him all the gritty details of the burlesque show we saw and other adventures which he found entertaining.

For some reason I let some guy talk me into dancing at the last place of the night. I remember making him promise to not let me fall down...gross, don't know why anyone would want to dance with me in that state. My friends said I looked pretty good, but it was very odd that I was wearing my friend's winter scarf out there dancing with a big tall guy who had a pretty good hold on me. Sheesh. Tequila may make your clothes off, but apparently gin makes me put more on.

Anyway, trust me when I tell you that the sleeve changes the way your body handles alcohol. I did eat some dinner, but not enough because the drinks hit me hard. I changed my clothes into jammies when we got back to my friends house, I guess we danced more in the living room and I seemed "ok" but I don't have recall of things that happened after we closed the last dancehall. Good thing I am a sweet and happy drunk because I clearly was not in control of myself. I have no idea how people do this regularly.

Sorry I can't start a thread with my kindle so I do an empty post and reply to it.

Lol, it's ok to let loose occasionally! It sounds like you had fun (excluding the hangover part, haha). Now you can start the new year with zero interest in getting toasted!

I also don't know how people can drink regularly. I had a few good nights last summer and there is no way I could handle the level of sick I feel afterwards on a regular basis, blech.

I have never been a drinker, before my sleeve I would get drunk after 3-4 glasses of mix drinks. Last week we went out to our favorite club and got very tipsy after one full shot and two shots of half vodka with rockstar recovery. No hangover though!

The worst was a swig I had of a Peach Moscato, OMFG.... Never again! Moscato was my favorite wine but now I felt like my stomach and esophagus was on FIRE! Not sure if it's because it's a different brand, different flavor or simply because my stomach just couldn't handle the alcohol with high sugar content that this type of wine has. I do know something though, no more sweet wine for me.

at least your friends made sure you got home okay and without an overnight guest!

@@CowgirlJane, don't be silly. You're no idiot. You're just a good girl gone bad. Now and then it's good for the soul and it keeps the roses in our cheeks.

I have moved from wine to beer and mixed drinks because wine hurts so much. UGH, @@monyLiza , I feel you.

I only have 1 or 2 before I am done. I'm usually at home, so no fun stories, but alcohol does hit me hard.

Glad you are safe, glad you had fun! No guilt should be had, but you now know what makes you uncomfortable so go forward with that. Personally I think your experiences were fun -- certainly nothing to fret about. I'm a ho like that.

[CowgirlJane 14,261]

Ok the story gets better. The guy who propped me up on the dance floor called. I apologized for been such a drunk and he laughed it off, said we girls were just having a good time so I guess I wasn't as bad as I feared. Well except I don't really remember what he looks like or why I gave him my number!

It really was fun and I don't feel guilty more like a warning. I don't process alcohol normally so if I have a few, well spaced out with food I am fine. ..if I don't follow my own rules... well, it gets crazy fast.

I never drink alone or when I need to drive...safe and at least somewhat sane. .

See I knew there was more to the story! Kindle....I didn't know I could get on bariatricpal from my kindle. It's hard enough using the IPAD - I hate it because I can't see anyone's signatures.

The real question now is - will you see the guy who you danced with again?

Well, I found out a medication I have been taking contributed to this over the top situation. I really could not understand since I drank same or less than others... so I started googling it and sure enough... lessons learned

I just read, and saw videos on the effect of alcohol after the surgery. It does change the way your body handle alcohol very much. I'd do some research before taking drinks again. When did you have your surgery?

[CowgirlJane 14,261]

My surgery was 4 years ago, I am quite convinced it was the effect of the .medication because what happened mirrored that exactly and the meds are new. Well now I know!
