Results Of Drinking Alcohol!

[Wps2 57]

So I guess it is true that post-op surgery drinking is some what of a hazard... I always heard it was a major difference! I went out to drink for basically the first time and tried to drink like I used to... Well this was the result!!!

Starting Weight = 344 (July 27th)

Current Weight = 257

LOL... alcohol has not affected me either way, there is no difference pre or post op but I have heard that people either get more buzzed or less buzzed. I stayed the same (7 months post op)

My nutritionist recommended avoiding alcohol the rest of my life. There is evidence in medical literature that bypass patients are at greater risk of alcohol dependence. But I love martinis. I do plan on drinking much less postop, and never on an empty stomach .

Here is a story from ABC News, entitled, "Weight Loss Surgery Increases Risk of Alcohol Addiction" at http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Wellness/weight-loss-surgery-increases-risk-alcohol-addiction/t/story?id=16582225

My father was an alcoholic. So I notice these articles.

Haha thanks for posting, I'm only 2 weeks post opt and been wondering when I could try a taste..... My nutrionist said avoid alcohol for 1 year!

Before surgery I drank everyday... Wine that is at Least 2 glasses a day....

On the weekend I would have some Bacardi limon.

I'm happy to say I haven't touched alcohol since before my 2 week pre opt diet...

I don't have the urge to drink either, but I was wondering for New Years ,,,, I don't know..... I heard just sipp slowly lol
