Hey again looking for some answers. I had my sleeve on Sep 2 and I was wondering if anyone has had alcohol this soon. I know I can't drink beer but I was thing V-8 and a splash of vodka or gin not much but I'm missing my alcohol. I've had V-8 already I know I can handle it I was just wondering if anyone has tried any alcohol this early on.

jersrose43 I'm with you. Tried Chardoney tasted like crap, tasted red tasted worse! Have two open bottles that I suppose I will just have to pour out! Anything very sweet is awful... However a whole glass of V8 with one shot of vodka (think bloody mary) is devine. And it takes a loooonnnngggg time to drink it.

I am still just laughing at Forsythia's earlier post!!!

Well... It wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Came home from Vegas 3.5lbs heavier. But, I honestly think some of that is travel bloat. My eyes were even puffy this morning. I've had about 4 liters of water and only doing shakes and P3 protein packs (just one). I had a quest bar right before the gym so I'd burn those carbs up fast. Here's hoping for a decent drop tomorrow!

Wow, great Info!

Well you've already got an angry, wounded stomach...I don't know if I'd risk it so soon. I've HEARD horror stories about bariatric patients that go from being a eater to a drinker. With that said, my 6 mths is next week and I'm going to try a little wine tomorrow.

My brother in law traded one vice for another after bypass and he gained 60lbs back. I'll pass. I'm.a cheap date now I cant imagine when I'm 100lbs lighter

6 weeks post op i got a really bad flu/cold. The Nyquil that I took gave me the room spins. I thought that was pretty amusing. About 3 1/2 months post op I took a half shot of Jager to Celebrate my recent engagement and it was fine. But I would recommend having alcohol so soon after surgery. Give your body a chance to heal.

I am 4 weeks out and I took Tylenol nighttime and it knocked me out. LOL

I think the Tylenol PMs are what I need. Did you crush or swallow the pill?

I took the liquid for a cold.

I haven't had any and maybe will never again. I will be glad to have coffee again someday though.

So I've heard you can drink again but very small amounts.

My doc said no alcohol until 48hr after surgery! I'm 6 wk post op. Had the odd glass of vino with no prob whatsoever x

Cool thanks!

How did you do with your surgery , I hate shakes trying to find the right one
