Alcohol?

[LouiseC 1,031]

The reason post surgery it is generally I inadvisable to drink is because alcohol thins the blood which can have a damaging effect on internal stitches and staples which take up to six weeks to heal.

After this, there is no risks in drinking alcohol beyond what risks alcohol generally poses to everyone.

My surgeon and my NUT recommended the occasional red wine as part of a normal and healthy diet. I have enjoyed an occasional wine since I was six weeks out. I continue to lose weight.

A glass of red wine takes 8 minutes moderate jogging to burn off.

You might have noticed how these overly sensitive perfect people on here tried to rip me a new one becuz I said I had my 1st drink @ 3 weeks..and I will say again I had my cocktails already..worked out next day..no weight gain..5 weeks out and still have my cocktails and lost 13 lbs from week 3 to week 5..I say do you! Sip slow and I'll suggest u have something on the rocks!! These people on here can be so judgmental I'm not peeping thru your window when u take a bite of a ham sandwich b4 u reach 6 weeks so don't a girl and her cocktails....POW!

"I Understand you shouldn't drink." So the answer is "Water."

[Skyjack1 105]

I may like the vodka and Sobe I will have to try that one. Tequila makes me crazy, lol

[pattivalvo 23]

My doc said absolutely not until 6 weeks. Ur stomach is not healed toooooo early. I'm 6 weeks and had my 1st vodka crystal light and it burned. I'm an experienced drinker too lol

[Skyjack1 105]

No food bothers me and since I already tried it same with alcohol. I sort of wish it did. Now I couldn't drink it down like I normally would but still burn free.

I just want to say for the record to anyone who will listen that I, at age 37, had TOTALLY OVER did it back in June. (I'm still pre sleeve). I swear I haven't been that sick since high school. I swore off drinking alcohol. It was over a month later when I tried again. Mainly to tell my brain that I'm overreacting. I wasnt.

Lesson: pre sleevers go on a big bender and develop an aversion. Worked for me
