June 16, 201610 yr Please talk to your doctor, but alcohol in any shape would be a very bad idea that early. You are not even close to healed at that time, so drinking is a huge no as far as I'm concerned. I was told that drinking was off limits for minimum of 6 months, but highly discouraged for the rest of my life due to the effects. Like, have a glass of wine or a weak mixed drink on special occasions but steer clear of it as a regular thing. After you're a year or so out, it may still hit you VERY hard as you have less stomach to process it, so it filters right into your bloodstream and you'll feel very drunk super fast on a very small amount. I've heard stories of people going black out drunk from just a few glasses that used to not even get them buzzed. And besides that, alcohol is empty calories and super high carb. Very, very bad stuff to try that early. It most likely will make you feel pretty bad and minimum make you stupid drunk, and very likely could make you sick. But yeah, ask your doctor.
June 16, 201610 yr At only three weeks out, you haven't healed enough to deal with alcohol. Unless you're at something like a wedding and need to take a mere sip at the toast (and there are always plenty of nondrinkers at weddings), it simply isn't worth it. Your sleeve needs a solid 6-8 weeks healing time before you try anything off-plan.
June 17, 201610 yr Author It was for a event but already passed the drink idea up I can wait 6 mnths. To enjoy small drink thank you for the advice Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App
June 17, 201610 yr Alcohol can cause bleeding so that soon out could be dangerous. You could also get sick and ruin your night. Good idea to wait. Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App
June 17, 201610 yr Let your new stomach heal properly...........before taking on new challenges like alcohol. Let it heal. Be safe.

June 17, 201610 yr Author Mentally I was doing good now that I'm on soft foods I wanted to try it. It wasn't a lot but now I have to stay focus. I'm glad I just a few pepperoni then had a small adult beverage lol Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

June 21, 201610 yr Drinking alcohol so early out is a risk to your stomach that is healing inside your body. Tissues are in a delicate state.
