Hey all,

Had a question about having a drink. I am almost 4 months and just came back from Vegas. I was afraid to have a drink, cause I really do not know which ones have sugar in them.

I have been having red wine ( I am Italian, gota have it ) And doing fine with that. I am a light weight, always have been.

I noticed many post ops are having martinis, lemon drops, margaritas???

How, does one know what is ok and what to stay clear of. I am purely a social drinker, pre-op I drank less than 1x a month.

Any tales to share??

Its all trial and error sugar pea. First I tried out by mixing Vodka, Cranberry juice AND water, I did this for a couple of months, then I tried Lemon Drops, and I didnt dump! I have also tried Margaritas, but the sweet ans our mix is touch and go with me, sometimes its too much I feel lousy after I have one on occasion, I think that it mayhave to do with quality of which sweet n sour mixer the bar is using, I find that often they are too sweet but EL Toritos and On the Border make kick ass Margaritas and I do okay there... also I noticed if Im at happy hour or social gathering and I have a Lemon Drop or Margarita I have to be VERY AWARE not to "munch" on anything sweet, the sugar from the mixer and the sugar from the sweet make me dump EVERYTIME! One cookie, I dont care how small, a peppermint dinner mint... whatever makes me ill- so I stay clear from it.

Prior to surgery I always drank Patron Silver on the rocks with a twist of lime... I have found after surgery that this is incredibly way too strong and I no longer enjoy it. This is my story on how my drinking evolved..... good luck to you.

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

I want one but had to take a pain killer so I have to wait a little longer. I went from 9pm last night until 3PM today before I broke down and took one. Damn my stomache muscles hurt so bad.
