Sounds like this is a joke or OP has issues with alcohol.

Yeah I have issues with alcohol because I had a couple sips of a drink ... That's a joke also

I think it was on here I read it at . I'm not sure . I was wondering the same thing . Because I do like to drink every now and then for get togethers. I think I'm not sure it can tear your stomache . I'm not 100% sure . I'm just curious to know the answer and what could you have later on ?

Yeah be careful what you ask !!! They'll chop your head off !! Guess you. Ant be honest on this forum

My doc cleared me for 3 weeks . Guess it just depends on your surgeon. There are so many different answers that's why I asked in the first place . And before I asked I did research on the topic . Got many different answers also

If you can't abstain from alcohol long enough to let yourself lose weight and heal, then how will you control yourself when it comes to food? Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. Your surgeon must be losing marbles, because I don't know what surgeon in their right mind would approve alcohol consumption LESS than a MONTH out. It seems as if you weren't and still aren't in the right mindset for this journey. If you didn't want people coming at you like you have, then you shouldn't of posted something that sounds so incredibly ignorant. To come on here and boldly say that you're less than a month out and enjoying alcohol is bound to attract negative comments.

So for all of you with this "Alcohol causes leaks and liver damage' date=' and ulcers, Just got back from the dr.s for my 2 week check up . I asked him about every single concern and risks that people were saying. He said it is no different than how alcohol affects a regular liver. And started laughing when i was concerned that it would cause a leak!!! I dont know where these people get this info from. I have googled this topic, researched and came up with exactly what my doc told me. High calorie intake, and more affects of the alcohol due to ur low tolerance. My doc is one of the top leading surgeons in the Orange County area and i take his advice over anyones in this forum. Sorry to burst your bubbles. he gave clearance of 3 weeks !! So all that crap talk about leaks and things is NONSENSE from alcohol!!!!!!!! THANK YOU DOC!!!!![/quote']

You have your answers you had them when u started this thread so good luck to you

How can people like you be so quick to judge . I guess next time I won't be so truthful. I think I'm doing excellent with my weight loss. I go to the gym 4 times week , getting all Protein and liquids , and lost 25 pounds in 17 days . And. My surgeon is one of the top leading surgeons in Orange County . So yes if you want to judge because I took some sips of alcohol that's your problem not mine.

I doubt people would be 'so quick to judge' if you hadn't come off so rude in most of your posts. That's obviously going to cause some backlash. Plus a lot of people are so thankful for their sleeve and the new life it's given them and take it very seriously, so when a rule that some doctors have been adamant about sticking to is broken it can be a big deal. Most of these people were just trying to warn you of the harm you could be doing to your body.

Well to comment to Sarah - the lush - if u were so concerned u should of went straight to the doctor and stop looking for attention on these blogs - it's sad that we all tried to give u advice from our concern and what could of been told us and u laugh at us - I don't think this is a forum for you bc u have been so negative and snotty to everyone who gave u advice - so listen to ur doctor and bottoms up - and stop being such an a*****e to people that r trying to help

I didn't mean to come off rude but some people were calling me a b***h and other names , guess I went into defense mode. And there are so many different boundaries of when not to drink alcohol . Some surgeons say 3 weeks 1 month 3 months just thought I would put it out there . Guess shouldn't be so truthful next time . But I do apologize if did come across rude to any of the people here. . I really do like these threads they have been really helpful!

My nutritionist said that drinking puts added stress on the liver which is already under stress from the rapid wait loss.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
