I have a question... how long did everyone wait before they had their first alcoholic drink after the band and what do you ya'll prefer to drink? I think more than food I am missing a nice ice cold beer... ahh I know I won't be having that again, so I am wondering what everyone else now drinks.

Not a good Role model - bur I had my 1st drink - I think 3 weeks after the surgery! :-)

I was always a big beer drinker. I have drank twice since surgery and didn't like it. I had vodka/cranberry. I am used to being able to handle my liquor-- but I only had a few and got REALLY drunk! I was disappointed because I like to relax and hang out for the evening and I was too drunk to do that. I really don't feel like drinking any more because of that. Maybe I need to find a drink with a very small % of alcohol that won't affect me so quickly.

Hey MsFab - Howd it go with the party. I have 3 batchlorette parties next month - and I want to have a glass or 2 of wine at each... did you feel okay?

OMG... I have ONLY been a beer drinker and I will die if I can never drink beer again. I will have to find out if it will ever be ok for me to have one after some time has passed.

I don't remember when, but I do know I stay away from carbonation.

So no more beer, but I now love Malibu, OJ, pineapple and grenadine.

Also a nice Riesling (light white wine) is nice too.

I noticed you like the Malibu (rum). You have to try the coconut Malibu with the V8 Fusion/light. OMG! it is sooooo good.

Time for a bit of a confessional for me.

I had my surgery on a Monday, that Friday I went out and effed up on something that I didn't think I would have issues with.

I had about 6 ounces of dark beer that took me more than an hour to finish.

That night I was pretty bloated in the stomach and couldn't expel gas very easily.

Now I definitely learned my lesson, but I fear that this lesson may have some consequences? Is it possible that could have dislodged the band? I go for my first fill on Sept 15th and I'm just scared I may have already screwed things up :confused:
