My bariatric book advises not to drink alcohol for a year. My sister who had the surgery 4 years ago said she doesn't recall waiting a year and more than likely didn't. Just wondering if you all waited a year or how long you waited AND how you felt after vs. before? I hear you become intoxicated fairly quick. Thx!

My doc approved me for alcohol at my 2 month check up. He advised a very small amount, but I haven't tried it yet cause many ppl have told me to wait a year. That and I really haven't had an occasion where I wanted to drink. When I do...it'll probably be a bit of wine since I'm not much of a beer or liquor drinker

I had wine about 7 weeks it was fine. I doubt I will do it again. I don't think it's a good idea for me to drink. I don't need the calories and there is risk of alcoholism. Just my opinion.

First of all, why would you drink beer? THere is carbonation in beer and it will make you blow up and burp and feel like crap. Second, they don't want you to drink alcohol because it is SUPER easy to become addicted. You'll get drunk REALLY fast and it's hard to control. Wait. Even at over 1.5 years out I won't drink more than 6oz of wine only and very rarely.

Don't do something you'll regret. It's a slippery slope.

I'm sure mine will be the same and I will be like you. Haven't had a desire just wanted to see others experiences. Thanks for the reply

just think this way...your new stomach its the size of a baby stomach... would you give alcohol to a baby... ???

BariatricMatters

I'm well aware the size of my stomach! As a mother not even going to bother answering this! A simple answer SPECIFICALLY to the question would have been appreciated NOT the sarcasm.

I'm 7 weeks now but not looking to drink just curious as to others experiences of people really waited a full year and outcomes. Thanks for answering the question

Please point out to me where I said anything about beer?? I'll wait...exactly I didn't! I understand why they don't that wasn't a question. I merely asked for peoples experiences who had. Don't you think if I read I couldn't drink for a year I continued reading as to their reasons listed?! Thanks for including your experience, but next time I could do without all the assumptions and extra. Just so you know I wasn't looking to drink because if I wanted to I wouldn't have posted a post for permission as I'm an adult. Rather I wanted to read about others direct experiences. Just curious like that.

I wasn't trying to be nasty. Someone else mentioned beer and I mentioned the carbonation. You asked how people felt and I said that it makes people sick. Hot damn that got nasty quick. Best of luck to you.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
