Hey Y'all,

Just a few ?'s

1. what is or did everyone have 10 days post op? Still liquids?

2. Adult Beverages: When were you told you could have a drink?

3. is it about average to lose about a lb a day?

just a few things I was curious about. Thanks so much in advance for replying.

I was released from te hospital after a two day stay and put on full liquids for two weeks and then two weeks of puréed. I was told I could have alcohol six weeks after surgery. They frown upon it because it's liquid calories. I am 27 years old and would like to have a glass of wine every now and again.

Oh and I had my surgery on June 12th and lost 20 lbs before surgery on the liquid diet... After surgery I lost another 15 lbs for a total of 35 lbs... But I've lost inches all over!

sounds just like me as well, and i hear ya about a glass of wine! good luck love

I was also told that alcohol will have a total different effect on you after your surgery as well. It absorbs much quicker and you'll be drunk very quickly. Be safe!

I'm only 6 days post surgery and on liquids for two weeks.

Good luck with everything!!

1) I was eating eggs by week 2. So around 8 days post

2) I had my first glass of wine yesterday and surgery was may 15th

3) forgot lol

3) loosing weight is very different with each person. My dietitian said first month souls be 5 pounds week and after only 2 pounds a week.

My surgeon is very conservative when it comes to advancing diet. Full liquids for 4-5 weeks post-op, then pureed/soft foods for a month.

Alcohol is not recommended after any form of bariatric surgery because its wasted calories. After the sleeve and bypass procedures it can be very addicting, because of the changes in how its processed. I don't drink, so it isn't an issue for me.

I'm 18 days post-op, and have lost 18.4 pounds since the morning of surgery. I've lost a total of 47 pounds since my first appointment with my surgeon (the 28th of April). I'm very pleased with the way things are going. Best of luck to you!
