Drinking after surgery



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on August 5th and will be going to Vegas on October 10th. I know the friends my husband and I are going with are going to want to party and I would like to be able to at least socially drink. Any suggestions? Anyone out there that drank 2 months post op?

Well I think I had my first glass of wine at 3 months.

It goes to your system quickly. Please make sure you are with people you trust and that you will not be driving at all. Please don't drink more than one cocktail, as you will be surprised how fast the effects come and go. However the drink is still in your system after one drink.

I had a shot of tequila, which I mixed with lots of Water in a water bottle mixed with crystal light flavored margarita mix, it was good and I barely tasted the tequila, I'm 12 weeks out.

Did you get drunk off that one shot?

No, not really, just a few minutes of warmth, but no effect, my husband said I poured 2 shots, but I didn't get drunk, I even lost 1 lbs, lol

I'm about 2 1/2 months out and I have had a glass of wine for my birthday and when I went out the girls one day. Just sip on it because it will hit you fast if you don't. I also sipped Water with it the first time and I didn't really feel as drunk. Lol

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
