It's been a month, when can I do a shot of whiskey?

I would check with your surgical group to see what their recommendations are. In my opinion one month post op is a little early for whiskey. Better safe than sorry.

I'm not a drinker- haven't for 9 years due to the meds I take. But was wondering- DO people drink after having BS? I always thought it was a no-no.

my doctor and nut said alcohol would not hurt me once I am fully healed.

I like whiskey, and I like wine, especially red. but these early months are when I am loosing weight the best and I am not going to waste the carbs in the first 6 months.

I tended to have a drink oh, 2-3 a month - and I cook with wine. Once I am down in my weight it will just have to be factored in to my "carb allowance"

and, practice at home - I sure won't have my first drink in public. I think this will also be my only exception to not drinking while eating. Because it will be a special occasion, I think it's better to have a little food in my tummy.

Talk to your team, see what they recommend based on your personal medical history, medications, and surgery type.

I wasn't allowed alcohol until 3 months post-op.

i drink.... but not beer (i hate beer)... but i drink wine, mix drinks.... shots.

the thing you have to remember is that it doesn't take much to get drunk anymore....

One or two good margaritas and i toasty.... Even the biggest of guys get drunk faster after wls

I didn't have alcohol until 6 months out. Warning - it will hit you faster than before!

If you are over 21 and you aren't driving, you can do a shot of whiskey whenever you want.

I am one month out. I can tolerate one beer just fine. Grain alcohols are a no. I love red wine but haven't tried yet.

Jenlynn - what type of beer did you drink?

[Amelie2016 116]

I tried beer

Did any of you feel a throat dryness after waking up? This was two beers drank very slowly, and I stirred as much carbonation out of it before I enjoyed them. It was not right before bed, and I sleep on a wedge pillow.

Just curious now if the alcohol in those beers caused the silent reflux? Or if it's something else. But did you experience any negative effects the next day?

I felt not so great, even after two beers. I won't ever drink more than that again.

My doctor gave me the okay to have alcohol, but honestly I can't take it. It makes me sick and I end up throwing up even just having one drink makes me sick.
