I'm 10 days post op and on holiday I've found it hard drinking Water or juice during the day but went out a couple of nights and had way way way to much to drink (and not jst juice )it jst went dwn so easy but now I'm terrified I've fone some sort of damage like stretching my stomach or causing a leak ? I know it was a stupid thing to do but got caught up in the moment .

I'm sure you didn't stretch your stomach but I'm guessing you're referring to alcohol at 10 days out? All drs are different but did yours not give you guidelines for alcohol?

Yes alcohol no he never said I couldn't I phoned the clinic and she said as long as it wasent fizzy drinks it should be ok

Sounds like you're good then! Just keep in mind those are empty calories but I'm guessing it was just a vacation thing?

But you weren't concerned while you were actually drinking?

I ask because I am a food addict and for me, I was never thinking of the binging while I was doing it. I only experienced regret and concern afterwards.

If you are a food addict as well then you may want to be aware of addictive behaviors resurfacing.

Every doctor is different. Mine don't want us to drink alcohol for 1 year because it has a much more effect after surgery. Most people feel the effects of alcohol after just a few sips. You're also drinking empty calories that can sabotage your weight loss goals. BUT if we do drink it to make sure it's 30min plus after we've eaten. The food will help absorb the alcohol as not to get loopy.

I have given up alcohol completely as its empty calories. The aim of the sleeve is weight loss and drinking wont help. It all depends on how serious you are about loosing weight. That's just my opinion but I really don't think you should be drinking that much so soon after surgery regardless of what it is. Good luck with the weight loss.
