Re: can you ever drink alcohol again?

[Guest guest]

Well, I try to stay away from alcohol...but recently I had margaritsa twice in

one week, 2 1/2 one time 3 the other....this had me gain 5 pounds and now am on

a plateau...those margaritas, though enjoyable, are not worth the weight gain

and plateau...it is all about choices and changing our lifestyles...no pain no

gain...guess that holds true...LOL!

Re: can you ever drink alcohol again?

depends on the sugars in them. I have drank many micgelob ultras ata couple

different weddings and got a bit tipsy but it went away quick. it hits a

little faster than before but goes faster too. I have had friends who drink 1-2

glasses of wine and feel tipsy. Everyone is diferent. My doc told me to try it

in

very small amount spaced fat apart to see how it went. I heard that alot of

people cannot drink much after that it makes them drunk fast, the doc told me

that too but it was not the case for me.

I went on a cruise two weeks ago and drank alcohol for the first time since

my surgery (11 months out). I drank wine and screwdrivers(I tried in little

doses for a few weeks before).......Heres what I noticed with me.....One drink

and I am trashed, but it only lasts for 45 minutes to an hour. I stay away from

the margaritas, because the margarita mix has too much sugar. I also stay

away from the beer and alcohol mixed with soda because of the carbonation

(yes,.....beer is carbonated) Since I knew I could drink orange juice, I

decided

that was safe (who wants to dump while drinking). But really, wine is the best

for me......But everyone is different, so try it out before you go out.

Good Luck
