I was never a big drinker to begin with, so I actually drink just as much as I use to.. very rarely. When I do drink, I avoid carbonation & beers (tastes like piss to me anyway). I normally have some froofroo drink that is laden with empty calories.. get nice and buzzy, and have some shots that I have no idea the caloric intake. Since it happens only once every 1-2 months, I don't worry about it.

I wouldn't recommend drinking regularly just because of the high calories. Go google nutritional info of whatever drink you like... it's scary..

I drink occassionaly.... like for my birthday this weekend I had quite a few. Every once in a while I will go out with friends and drink some wine. I try to limit it to wine for the more frequent occassion and then hard liquor is only for special occasions.

Hey im 22, had the band before i was legal so i had a different experience on my 18th (legal age in Oz) but i still drink. I find i cant drink a lot very fast because my stomach swells like a balloon and it tends to come up cause the band is stuffed full but i drank while i was losing weight ...every weekend and usually pretty hard core ... have settled down a bit now lol

I still lost weight it just meant i needed to make sure i made really good choices food wise during the week. The mixed drinks are full of sugar but they are what i drank...come to think of it i drink anything without problems.

If you find your gaining weight just up the exercise or cut back the booze. I figured i got the band to help me change my life but i still want to enjoy it!!!

Has anybody had a drink after a fill? I have some major issues to handle this evening and I'm going in for a fill. I am going to probably want one small drink after I lay the people out who have been talking very very badly about me so I was just wondering I know I will be on liquids for 2 days then mushy for 2 days but can I have one small drink or will that hurt my bands restriction?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
