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. [emoji23]

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
