Crazy Night

Ok...it's been more than 9 months since I tied one on.  In fact, I was sort of feeling like it would never be possible again.  I mean, I cannot drink quickly, nevermind something very cold.  Last night, my husband and I went to a Costa Rican restaurant in a nearby city and boy, did I prove that life does not end after lap-band.  I was able to slowly eat some of the typical things like fried green plantains and chiccarones.  I couldn't eat much, but I got a taste of each one.  And I chose a little coffee and baileys and let me just say, I had a great night.  It was so much fun!  I think my husband was relieved... he worried more than I did that I would never be able to party again.  I cringe if I let myself contemplate the caloric intake, but what the heck, it's not like I do it every week.  Rocking!  So happy today, albeit a little hung over.

  1. Molly, thanks so much for sharing this. I rarely drink, but when I do go out with my husband for a special occasion I like to have a cocktail or two, or if I go out with my girlfriends I enjoy a glass of wine. I am so happy to know that there wasn't any problem with the occasionaly indulgence.

  2. I agree with Cat, it is nice to know. I drink an occasional drink when i am out with my husband and a friend. Did you find that you got tipsy faster, thus the hang over?
