I am due for surgery in a month ish and I hve a wedding 2 weeks after. My poison has always been vodka and tap water - so no fizz. Is that going to kill me??

Yes

Most surgeons don't allow alcohol for at least a year. A few will say six month. None would permit it so soon as two weeks. Your stomach won't even be healed inside yet.

Don't go there. As Lander said, you'll still be healing, and alcohol is pretty rough on the system. Have water with a twist of lime to be festive.

Bummer. Is it one month out that u can attempt normal foods? Or longer?

Depends on the diet your doctor recommends. In my case, I will be able to start introducing real foods at 29 days. Others may be on puréed foods or soft foods at the one month mark, or they may be on a plan that very gradually adds in real foods a few at a time in the order they are most commonly tolerated. There are a few who are still on full liquids at one month. There are even some who will have been on real foods almost from the start.

I'd say that in general, real foods start being introduced between 4 and 8 weeks.
