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

I had 1 drink about 3 months after surgery during thR summer. Best drink ever. I felt fine but it lasted me long compare to having 3/4 cups of piña colada with double shot of rum. Wait I had a skinny girl rum like 1 months after 4 months I think. It was with a little soda which I stop drinking soda forever now. Had no side affects. Infact I felt to damn happy lmbo.

Thanks or the input .

It feels o good o be losing weight!

Wow... That's serious. Glad you weren't driving. Be careful.

I just asked my dr today when it was safe to have a little alcohol (hell if we cant eat we might as well have a little fun drinking every now and then!) So they told me 1 year post op. Im only 20 days post op...i don't think i could wait a whole year!

LOL! Sorry this happened to you but I have to say, you look fabulous even passed out!

I know 1 year is lonnngggg. My sd was nov2

My doc said 7 months!

Dont judge but I could only wait alittle over a month after surgery to try alcohol. I can say that the buzz hits me alot sooner but its not much different than before. I regularly drink cherry vodka mixed with liquid ice and ive only had one blackout but Chippendales were in town. Oops.

If you truly enjoy alcohol, then go for it. I would suggest being highly aware of the new way it gets processed. Everything in balance - the key is finding that new balance.
