6 weeks post surgery - Drinking



Recommended Posts

Wanted to try a cocktail or even just a shot this evening. Surgery was 3/7. Doing well post op. No issues. Pre-surgery weigh in on 2/26 was 304 and I’m currently at 274.

Should I? Or too risky?

My program recommends no alcohol for 1st year. Be careful of sugars in the alcohol and how you react now to liquor will be much quicker

It all depends on what your nutritionist has said. Mine said to wait at least 6 months. So I would ask them and see what they say?

I have not touched my favorite beverage (Beer Sam Adams) since Oct 15th because my taste buds do not desire the taste a beer anymore. However, I have never known a disciplined adult under the influence, LOL!

Had a couple vodka shots with Crystal Light. Feel fine. A touch tipsy but no complaints there.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
