I was told to wait a year. So far, i've been compliant with that

I'm guessing some docs say to wait a year because of the fear of cross addiction. I'm guessing once your stomach is healed, it's probably not going to have vastly different effects at six months as it does at 18 months.

I have drank white wine and had a couple of beers. I drink VERY slow, especially with the beer (Miller Lite). I am a couple months post op and have only had drinks recently because of the holidays.

I did fine. Beer sat a bit heavy and it took about a hour to drink one, but I didn't have any problems from it. I did catch a buzz quicker, but it didn't last long. I had no problem with a sweet, white wine either.

I have been able to drink most everything from Martinis to Margaritas and all the holiday specialty drinks. I am careful to "nurse" the drink along over the course of an hour or so... but I have been absolutely fine. No buzz or drunken feeling when the intake is slow. When I consumed something faster - it made me feel nauseated/hungover a little. So I just pace myself at a social event or when I pour a glass of wine.

Have fun and party on!

I have tried it all. Fireball scorched my pouch like no other. I get drunk INSTANTLY but I am stone sober within 30 minutes. I prefer to pop pills. Less calories!!

Like 3 months out lol

I never was a rule follower

I am 3 years out. I can't do beer.

#1 the fuzzy stuff makes me uncomfortable

#2 the beer foam is even worse

#3 I feel like I ate a meal 5 sips in

#4 it takes so long to drink it gets hot

#5 shots have less calories and work faster

I had bypass. When I drink, it's a very quick path from fine to drunk off my butt! I sober up pretty quick and haven't experienced a hang over. It's actually not that fun trying to keep a buzz going without getting too drunk...

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
