Quick question...when did you guys have your 1st alcolholic drink after getting the band? I am 20 days post op and down 25 lbs (including liquid diet) This week has been hectic and exciting, celebrated my 2 yr anniversary with my boyfriend and today is his birthday. Just wondering if having one glass of white wine will do any harm? Tganks for the input

Of course it won't. Just count those calories. Make sure not to overdo it being that soon after surgery though. Don't want to stress the stitches if you had too much and got "sick".

Ask your doctor because many won't allow any alcohol until a couple months have passed since surgery.

Best wishes.

I had a glass of wine two weeks after surgery, I still have one about once a week.

I have been doing great. Can't believe tomorrow has been 3 weeks since our surgery. I haven't had any real problems and am down 26 lbs. I get my first fill on Friday. Can't wait to see what that is like! Happy 2 year Anniversary!

A glass of wine will do the body good (sort of like that milk commercial)

Alcohol tears my stomach up, be very careful to start with. Red wine is the least problematic for me, I no longer drink hard liquor because the time I did it caused pain and acid reflux. I don't want that for sure!

Just a word of caution. I was more than a year put an had Moscato. sweet wine. just a little. an i had heart burn for HOURS.
