Drinking Question



Recommended Posts

Ok so i havent had the sleeve done yet. I know i wont be able to drink as much or at all for awhile which is fine lol. I dont drink much now but i could drink with the best of them lol

So my question is how much can u tolerate after and im not talking about an all night alchol fest. Like maybe getting a few drinks for a bday or somethin.

Just curious.

Gosh, I would just take one day at a time and go from there! Some people can have a drink 3 months out and some don't. Good luck on your journey! Are you going for the sleeve? :)

I sat next to dinner with a gal who owns a large winery who drank along with us all night just fine. She's two years out I believe but wine is their business so I think she gets lots of practice :) I'd guess she had four generous glasses of wine that night at least.

Had my sleeve done 13 months ago. Quit drinking for 4 months then slowly back to it. Procedure was great having lost 120 pounds to date. Drinking more of a challenge. Desire to drink daily seems enhanced and with reduced stomach and weight you can not drink quantities that you used to prior or you will get snookered real easy. My New Years resolution will be to try and quit permanently. Loosing out on to much in life with alcohol dependence.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
