Just try it and let us know :)

I had vodka mixed with flat water the other weekend (8 wks post op). Didnt feel hungover or get drunk. Felt better than drinking dry white wine which my surgeon cleared me on.

I drank 5 weeks post op. Probably did like 5 shots of tequila. And sipped water in between. I was fine and actually surprised when I woke up the next day I didn't have any signs of a hangover. Pre-op I definately would of been hungover. Definately not making drinking a regular thing but I was totally fine.

Every one is going to react differently, but a shot that early after surgery is probably going to hit fairly hard. Not going to leave you stumbling around drunk, but you'll likely get a surprise at how hard it can hit. If you're going to insist on drinking then consider mixing it with something. But seriously...2 months in and wanting to do a shot already? To each their own...

I did not have any alcohol until 6 months post op per my surgeons suggestions. I am not a big drinker at all but I've had a few cocktails or wine here an there over the past 5 months (I would say maybe 5 times) and it hasn't bothered me but I would follow your doctors recommendation!

Nothing. You will feel drunk. And might fall asleep . If it's on your plan have it but if not dont. It may also burn going down.

I wouldn't have your first drink around too many people as you need to test it out first. In a safe place.

Haha thought so. Drink with mixers you will still get tipsy if that's your intention lol but won't burn :)

I have a bottle of some strawberry daiquiri mixer but it has 56 carbs and 58 sugars for only a HALF of a cup! I couldn't believe it when I saw that. But my carb intake is nevermore than 30 a day so that's out of the question. Lol.

Try the skinny girl mixers and wines. They have less sugar and lower calorie. I went to a wedding two weeks post op and had a sip of wine during the toast. I will admit it hit me pretty hard but I really don't drink very often.

I’ve had a couple very low carb 5% alcohol grapefruit hard soda water and for thanksgiving I had a cran, soda water and vodka. None of it has made me tipsy or drunk but I have a natural tolerance.

If you’re going to drink, make sure you have a DD in case just one or two drinks hit you hard and just incorporate the nutrition info into your daily macros. Vodka and diet mixers are what I would stick to. Flavored vodka with soda is yum but I tolerate carbonation well.
