What kind of alcoholic beverages can I consume, my 3 months is almost up! I know NO BEER, NO SODA... so any suggestions on healthy alcoholic beverages... besides crystal light lemonade & vodka?

I had the sleeve and now I have the bypass. First time around I drank 3 months post op. I Avoided beer, and any carbonated beverages like the PLAGUE. that s h i t HURTS! So no vodka, soda, or rum and coke.

I used to drink vodka, with sugar free cranberry juice ( brought some to the bar in a flask LOL), vodka water with lemon and lime, and my favorite was white wine. Also, any clear liquor straight or on the rocks. Now, after the bypass my surgeon said I should again wait 3 months, but she strongly suggests a year to not inhibit weight loss. Ugh, I do miss my drinks!! Good luck, and keep us posted on what you decide and how it effects your sleeve.

Be SUPER careful! You will get drunk at the drop of a hat!!! No joke! It doesn't even take one gin and tonic and I'm completely toasted.

I can drink a couple of beers in an evening, but cannot mix it with food in the slightest bit. Very rarely do I drink, but to know I can go out to a social scene and have a cocktail or beer is nice. I just drink it much slower than I used to.

Make sure you are with someone you trust. Apparently when that part of our stomach was removed the enzyme that digests half the alcohol went into the garbage with our stomachs. Normal stomachs "digest" half, we get the full %. As my nutrionist said, you are a cheap date now, one drink, and you'll be sloshing around.
