    Yes you could.. And yes it could...

  • 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

    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

I had 1/2 of a bloody mary the other day at 2 weeks out and nothing happened.

Alcohol can cause bleeding this early out. In addition, it can cause dehydration (which is already a risk after WLS). Please be careful.

For some reason most people (mainly from the us) keep mentioning 6 months.. It must be what they advise over there, my doctor advised 6 weeks.. And I'm going to see beyonce on the 5th of July and I absolutely will be drinking with no fear. I'll do a trial run a few days prior to see what I can handle.. But I'd just ask your doctor.

I know the alcohol is not good this early I actually kind of ordered it without thinking. I have had such an easy time with surgery and no pain etc.... that I can forget the limitations

I saw the Formation tour 2 weeks ago and it was amazing. You are in for a treat! And some serious fitness inspiration as her choreography and body are mind blowingly strong.

Oh, she does lots of the classics. She goes way back to "Me, Myself, and I" and even goes back to Destiny's Child material a bit. You will not be disappointed. But you should try more to get into Lemonade! It will grow on you and she does some of the best songs from that album (even I don't like the country song though.)

The visuals are crazy....never seen a concert like it.

My surgeon said it was ok he just don't want me to have wasted calories and make it a habit. I am almost 6 weeks out I did try a drink last week I just did vodka because it low calorie and with ice water and I added my zero calorie mix lol I did get a buzz from that 1 shot that took me like a hour to drink .I will only drink a shot maybe once every 2 months so I think I will be good on not messing my calorie intake

Take it from someone who likes alcohol... Don't do it lol... My cousin had her surgery done 13yrs ago and says she is still a cheap date after a glass of wine and doesn't realize it until to late sometimes.
