Alcohol consumption.. Beware!

[iegal 460]

Okay - if you want to drink most surgeons recommend avoiding until you hit goal or minimum of 3 months.

Saying this - "Drinking alcohol after a bariatric procedure is not recommended because alcohol will take longer to metabolize in the patient's body; therefore serum levels of alcohol will rise more quickly and will be maintained longer in a bariatric patient. I still warn them that they stand the risk of getting drunk with small amounts of alcohol and may take longer to become sober".

Personally, I was a light weight before and am a super light weight now. One drink and I don't drive, at all. Not passing any judgement. As Erica said, be careful if you choose to drink.

PS - Erica you look amazing!
