Question about alcohol



Recommended Posts

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". :)

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!

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
