I'd say stay away from beer or champagne if you're sensitive to anything with carbonation. I've been lucky enough not to, but I've only dared to have it twice. I have stuck to Patron or flavored vodka and I've been fine with those things. What I did, and I'd suggest it, is maybe a week before, get a couple of the single serve bottles and test a few different ones to see how your stomach handles them. I figured that was better than tossing back a shot and then regretting it. I sipped at a couple of those over a few hours on a Saturday at home before trying anything out and about.

Just be mindful that your tolerance has likely changed. Before it'd take me 6-9 shots to get a buzz, now it takes 2.

Thanks I'll try doing that I was thinking about drinking at home first to see how I feel and drink Water as well BariatricPal App

I had surgery on May 29, 2016. I has my first sip of alcohol on November 20, 2016. I only had a very small amount of wine (1/8 of a glass at a restaurant) and I was pretty tipsy. Everyone has different tolerances. Before I had surgery I was able to drink a lot (like one time I had 3 large rum and cokes, 4 shots of fireball, and 4 large Malibu bay breezes) without feeling much. I suggest trying alcohol at home first for sure!

I always order a vodka with Water and a lime. Then I add crystal lite drops that I keep in my purse!
