I'm looking for advice about attending a wedding when I will be 6.5 weeks post op. Would you try to eat or just go without? My plan starts introducing real foods at 5-8 weeks.

My surgeon said that an occasional small glass of wine post op would be fine, so long and I do not drive. Can anyone tell me what it's like to have a drink post op?

My dr allowed alcohol at one

Month out but I was not ready. Could barely meet my Water goals at that point.

I felt completely back to normal somehow at 4 days. No pain, no nausea, no acid reflux, not even any gas. I'm sorry if you did.

And, if you don't know what to say perhaps it's best to say nothing...

Well I guess everybody heals differently. I wish I healed as fast as you did. And every doctor is different too. My doc said 1 yr before any alcohol. I've been having a hard time with everything. Today was my 6th day and tried broth and almost threw up. So all I can handle is Water and Protein drinks. Glad it's working out this well for you. Also keep in mind it might feel ok now but ulcers are not formed overnight. But it sounds like it was only at a special occasion for the alcohol. Sorry if I'm babbling. Good luck!!!!!

You may have felt back to normal but your insides were far from it. You are an adult and can do what you want but please don't encourage others to do the same. Drinking alcohol this early out is extremely dangerous. You may feel fine but you have no idea what type of damage you could have done.
