So question...My 26th birthday is tomorrow and I am 2 days away from being one month post op. I am also going on a cruise for me and my husbands birthdays together and I was wondering if I could drink (alcohol) in any sort of form at all?? Or is this out?

I am 6 weeks post op and I could not think about having any alcohol. My sleeve is still very sensitive with food and I just guess it would not go well. So when I go for social events I have apple juice or unsweetened ice tea. I also tried a few cocktails without alcohol but they are full of sugar as the fruit juices are not mostly made from concentrated.

Now that is my experience . I would check with your surgeon first. Let us know his recommendation.

My doctor told me on special occasions only and like once a year. Don't make up holidays for it. I didn't have a drink til I was maybe 9 months out and let me tell you after a few sips of wine I was tipsy. So if you do be careful.

So my doctor, we'll doctor's nurse, lectured me and told me that I was made aware of this during thr pre-op course. So I cannot drink, until a year out just as @@applejenn dr said. She also tried to convince me even more that it might not taste the same then, basically saying I may not want it. So no bday drinks for me ????. Lol

My doctor told me 90 days...

And I think even after that you have to be careful because absorption is different, so basically you become a cheap drunk ;) Not to mention you don't want to transfer 'food' addictions to 'alcohol' addiction...

I'm going to visit my dad in June, and he always has the nicest bottles of red wine with dinner... I will definitely smell them, but no drinking for me :)

This too is a contraversial topic, some doctors go so far as to have their patients sign a letter vowing to never drink again. Fortunately, mine didn't! I don't recall a time when I didn't drink alcohol. I try to drink "skinny" drinks and remember your stomach size has changed the way you digest alcohol, do be careful. You will probably not be able to drink as much as you had before without being hammered. Also getting calories from any liquid is not great, so don't go overboard.

      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?
