So I'm enjoying a skinny girl cosmopolitan and I'm already down 20 pounds , so what is the big fuss about alcohol if your body can totally tolerate it ?!?!?!?

My surgeon only told me about alcohol because I specifically asked about it' date=' he didn't give me a handout or anything.

He said its ok to have after 4 weeks out. I get why your asking Sarah, if its only about calories you might think you can have one or half a one but if it poses a real risk to your health you might think differently.

I don't know why people are acting like this, it's a perfectly valid question![/quote']

It's different if your asking before you have the drink

That stuff burns when it goes down your throat imagine what's its doing to your stomach I love wine but really ..your body is going through so much now your liver has to work hard to cleanse that and your posting this for attention enjoy your drink why post this

Attention ? Really ? First of all I wouldn't come come on VST to write something for attention lol Anyways my dr . Said 3 weeks its okay to enjoy a drink as long as your body can tolerate it . So sorry going by drs orders , thanks for the hating pshh

It's different if your asking before you have the drink

And also I looked into this a great deal , no I one could give a solid answer besides high calorie intake !! And to be careful because you get buzzed faster !! I didn't think one drink would bring all the haters out wow !

Don't worry about what they say on here.. To each it's own.. I was sleeved dec 18.. Guess what I had like 2 ounces of moscato on Saturday night.. And it was freaking good!! Lol good luck on your journey Hun!

Just kinda wondering , maybe someone can answer this . Alcohol is a blood thinner , they gave blood thinning medication throughout my stay in the hospital , so I wouldn't get blood clotts. And besides this whole surgery is a risk to begin with !

So just because the surgery is a risk in itself, you think it's ok to add alcohol into the mix because it doesn't matter anyway? How old are you? Grow up.

Honestly, Im preop, and I wonder the same thing. I know you will get alot of flack for drinking 2 weeks post surgery, but its refeshing to hear because people do drink and do alot worse.

Sarah z,

Do whatever u feel comfortable doing. This is YOUR journey....

Sorry some of the people on here never made it past junior high.

Everyone is different. Every surgery is different and every recovery will be different. If you can drink it girl, enjoy!!

I would stop replying to this thread if I were you Sarah, obviously people just want to attack you

My doctor cleared me for wine at 2 weeks. I have a few glasses every week since then. I am 10 months post op and have done very well. I'm almost to goal.
