Some of us tried to argue, or explain, the quick buzz to our dietitian and she was not buying it logically either. I know what I feel but I don't know the science behind it.

I normally do not like the taste of most alcohol but on a recent vacation I did enjoy kahlua and milk combined on ice and it was tasty but not something which would win if I had to chose between it and my new DS.  thanks Donna

    To cute nothing wrong with a ****tail once in a while.  I think I will learn from you experience and avoid Kahlua all together as it does not sound like a pleasurable evening and it best untested!  Thank you for sharing
Donna

That is the only way I could drink Kahlua?  or do they drink it straight?  I am not sure if this is a drink or if the bartenders were joking but they kept asking me if I wanted vodka with the Kahlua and Milk it did not sound good but since I was asked by more then one Spanish bartender in Ixtapa I started thinking maybe it was a real drink.  PS I have been told dossers tolerate half and half better then milk. Sounds like I should of avoid lactate for the first 3 months. I can drink almost a gallon a day................bad girl
Thanks

lol thank you.  The ice cream sounds good not sure about the vodka.  I plan on experimenting with proteins shakes with water while I am on the 5 day preop diet.  My dr office said it was OK so long as I did not mix it with milk.  I am a bit worried about absorption of effexor I figured I would get it changed from extended release to immediate release.  I do not want to be a tearful mess during my recovery as I will be dealing with enough.  In the past if I was ill & did not take my anti depressant effexor after a few days it does something with my receptors in the brain and without it I become very nauseated and vomit.  Of  course to get to that side effect it takes not taking for 2 to 3 days and I have not done that in a long time only if I was ill.  I hope if I take them on a regular bases and they are not time released I will not have an upset stomach as I would imagine it would be awful.  What I have experienced from low levels of effexor is bad enough I certainly would not want to put a new surgical stomach through that....................  thanks for the education.  Donna

I have read that a lot about the taste buds it seems strange but for as many times I read it I assume it must be true.  Since the taste buds are in your mouth it seems so strange.  I have read anesthesia can cause you to be depressed and it lingers in your system for a while so I do not want to play around with the effexor. 
Thanks

I am sorry if I wrote it wrong I did not mean to confuse taste buds and medications..................  2 different thoughts I guess I am curious so I keep writing when I should stick to one thought.  Here I go again............I did file a recipe on pureed egg salad it sounds good.  I heard from my DS dr and he agrees with you to get the immediate release effexor.  have a good night.  Donna

It's been so long I honestly don't remember. I DO remember making some home-made lime sherbet about six months post-op, and having some of the worst gas of my life---I think there was something about the combination of half-n-half and lime juice, because I'd had milk and cream before that. About I tried it again about 3 months later and it was fine. (I make this with Splenda, BTW, and ice cream, too---with real cream. *grin*)

 I think much of the alchohol is absorbed in the intestine, which our systems offer the "express ride" to and from.  Not only am I a cheap drunk (half a ****tail gets me tipsy now), but I sober up incredibly fast if I don't continue drinking (I usually ride the first buzz and that's it).
