Alcohol and band
Posted , 4 users are following.
Are you allowed to drink alcohol further down the line with the band. Just a query if I go out a night with friends... which isn't too often

Not recommended mainly due to the number of calories involved I think.
I am not a regular drinker either but since being banded in May I have been to a couple of weddings and a few nights out when I have drunk the same as I did before the band. I did not feel drunk more quickly as some research suggests and there was no ill affect with my band in the days after drinking.
I stick to vodka lime and soda when I drink.

What is your experience of fizzy drinks, non alcoholic and alcoholic?
My surgeon does not recommend drinking fizzy drinks but said it would have no ill effect if one did drink them?

PS as stated above it is 'empty' callories so if you do drink callorific drinks then you will slow down your wgt loss however some non alcoholic drinks can be callorific too - i always drank diet coke and cannot do that now - i drink J20 instead which is higher than my pre op drink - however unlike the poster above i do not feel as if i am getting drunk quicker than i did pre band - i am not a big drinker but having the band has not made any diff in that respect - not sure how the above poster copes with soda as that is fizzy - i was always told that fizzy is a bit NO NO

Hi Nicola
I had a sleeve not a band so not sure about the drink sorry. I know that I can't drink fizzy anymore!
