    I'm 5 months out and still do shakes. As for alcohol....most doctors say 6 months. Me personally, I've seen what it can do to a rny patient that wasn't carful and it scared me so I won't touch a drop.

How long after surgery did you wait to have your first drink

I think I waited 4-5 months.

I'm not a drinker neither but, occasionally I did. Like for holidays or girls night in... usually one drink was enough for me

Just make sure your first drink is with trusted friend and that you are NOT DRIVING. Also make sure your first drink is something you have had before surgery. My first drink was a glass of wine. I have not dumped on any drink, but I did surprise a waitress once when I told her the drink was way to strong. She helped me Water it down and it took me over an hour to drink it. I have noticed with cosmopolitans they make my pouch burn. So I stay away from them.

Bottom line be smart about it. You will be surprised at how fast it hits you.

I wasn't much of a drinker & suddenly I love it. I began drinking too much but not to the point of being or acting stupid. I stop my self cuz #1 wine is expensive and I don't want to become an alcoholic #2 I rather drink more cafe from Starbucks lmbo seriously I was over drinking but now I do it like weekends or skip a week or so but no more a daily glass or two of wine
