Sorry, I'm not sure if it would be ok or not. I was just told at my 3 month post op two weeks ago that I could now have a drink if I wanted, but I still haven't. I originally was told to wait 6 months before I had surgery. I'm sure someone on the site will get back to you having drank after a month.

two months should be your minimum. You are too early. Your stomach is not healed (the incision) and if you can picture pouring alcohol on a fresh wound....that's basically what you would be doing. I am a huge wine fan, but even I waited two months (actually 3 but who's counting). Really, it's not a good idea and you also don't know how it will effect you. The last thing you want to do is find out it makes you drunk quickly at a company party!!!!

Ok so I drank but very little like less than 1oz of vodka with 7oz of cranberry juice it didn't even give me a buzz so it wasn't even worth it but I feel fine it was probably not enough to matter my pain medicine gave me more of a buzz anyways I still had a really good time at the party laughing at all my drunk coworkers

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
