How long before you had a 'drink'?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys. I'm just wondering how long post-op it was that you first had a glass of wine (or favourite tipple). No lectures please - I can read and I know that some Docs say up to 6 months. I'm simply wondering what people's experiences are :-) Lx

Lol I got wasted on NyQuil the other day. It scared me so I didn't try any wine yet...

I drank wine 6 weeks out of surgery with no issues. I've heard people say that they got drunk much quicker, but I haven't experienced that either.

Thanks J-La. It's good to hear you had no ill effects :-)

First I asked my surgeon before I drank anything, after he said it was fine and for only a small amount is when I tried anything. Also I was 4 months out and I got very tipsy so please be careful and make sure you are around someone you trust.

I also didn't feel anything with the first two glasses of wine, which I thought was bizarre cuz I really don't drink and get buzzed on a half glass....but then the third time I had a glass I couldnt feel my face lol

The only thing I will say, it is too darn long. Haven't tried anything, but crave it.

I had wine at 2 months. I, too, got tipsy fast and then it seemed to be gone fast as well. I have since had wine a few more times and I haven't noticed the tipsy part. :( I have not tried anything heavier, like liquor. I am a little scared of it.

Has anyone tried to drink after 4 weeks? I'm having surgery on the Nov 26th and then our Christmas party is Dec.19th. So I'm curious if I can even have a small drink? My husband will be with me so I'm not worried about getting drunk, just don't want to do any damage to my new tummy.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
