preop alcohol

I'm having surgery Tuesday (so excited!!!) and was kind of wanting to have a 'celebration drink' tonight. Only one of course, but I'm afraid to. Anybody else in the same boat?

    I'd highly suggest a couple of silver patrone's followed by a jager or two....but that's just me.

Don't risk it...it isn't worth it. Save the drink for your goal weight.

It is generally recommended that you not drink alcohol for one week prior to weight loss surgery. After your surgery, your liver may become extremely sensitive. Because alcohol damages the liver and is considered a toxin, you could be setting yourself up for pain and further liver damage by drinking during the week before your surgery.

I thought I had a drinking problem about a year ago but I've controlled my drinking. But I don't think I can ever stop. My doctor didn't tell me to

How much and how often are you guys drinking? I'm

9 weeks out and I'm drinking pretty often, but not a lot each time 1-2 drinks. How did drinking affect your weight loss.

I drink like 3 days out the week but like 2-4 drinks. It hasn't affected my weight that I'm aware of..I'm 14 weeks out 48 pounds lighter. I'm not sure if I should be losing more. My doctor says I'm right on track
