Band to sleeve conversion 9/12.

I know this is a silly question and was probably a topic in the past. I have a wedding this weekend with a reception party after. I am planing on bringing my Water and will also bring a Protein shake since I'm still on all liquids for the next couple of weeks. I know everyone will be drinking and having fun which is completely fine. My question is I wonder if it would be completely crazy to have a single vodka tonic. Has anyone had a drink this early post op and if so, how was it? My fear is a tummy that feels like it's on fire.

YES. You are still healing. You don't want anything to irritate healing tissues. Learn to enjoy without alcohol. If you find you don't like it and you are feeling pouty, just remember you made a huge investment in yourself, and you will be better later. My ex wife gave up drinking for preganacies, and I abstained in solidarity.

Have one, you won't like it.

It will feel like swallowing liquid fire.

It would also really suck to dump at a wedding, and look like a heroin addict.

But hey, #yolo, enjoy.

Yes, it would be crazy. Don't do it.

Too soon. Your stomach is healing and there is no need to interrupt that just because you are going to a social function. Great you are taking a protein shake!

if you wouldn't rub alcohol on an external wound this early, then you should probably not rub it on an internal wound this early. I personally think you'll regret it this soon out.

Thanks everyone. For the most part I already knew the answer. Just needed some backup replies to confirm.

I had the smallest sip of communion wine without thinking at like week 4 or 6 or something and it felt terrible. And that is diluted. I can't even imagine what Vodka would feel like.

I dumped one time, not alcohol related and it was the worst feeling in the world for hours. It was like an after-school special.

Had a glass of red wine at two weeks without incident.

It would be an epically stupid move this soon......dangerous.

Glad you came around to a better way of thinking.

Let yourself heal.

There will be plenty of time and occasions to enjoy a drink or two in the future.
