I had surgery 12/6...With new year's coming up, how soon after surgery can you drink wine?

Yup. What they said ^^^^

I am willing to bet your surgeon will think it's still too early. You're not fully healed yet.

Ask you surgeon. Mine would prefer we never drink but said wait at least 8 months.

I've been told to stay away from alcohol for about a year. That bariatric patients are at high risk for alcoholism and 1 ounce of wine could literally put you on your butt. Since our body metabolizes differently, our tolerance for alcohol is back at zero.

I heard about the tolerance thing I guess I will just call my surgeon...

The r e was one small and (IMo) flawed study a few years ago that got lots and lots of airtime but there aren't any controlled studies to verify the claim that WLS patients are at a higher risk for alcoholism.

How you absorb alcohol depends on genetics not your stomach size.

All that being said you need to ask your surgeon how far after surgery you can consume alcohol. My said 8 weeks but I can't even imagine wanting it or wasting calories on it.

My surgeon doesn't go by calories but I don't feel like risking my progress I've just been curious and thought about trying some but decided against it..Thinking smarter now :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
