Are you still pre-op? If so, a glass of wine probably won't hurt. If you are actually post-op, I'm not sure how long you should wait--your information from the bariatric practice may say, but you are no doubt aware that it may affect you more than before, right? Besides being empty calories . . .

The effects of alcohol consumption soon after surgery can be dramatic. The effects of drinking one glass of wine might be equivalent to drinking 5 glasses of wine prior to surgery. Two months post-op is probably too soon.

I'm a sleever, too. I had a glass or 2 of wine (a few times) at about 6-7 weeks, and it stalled my weight loss. And it does hit you like a ton of bricks, so be prepared for that. :) I have Mother's Day and FIL's 95th this weekend, and I am sticking with iced tea. If I am feeling bold, maybe I'll try Pellegrino!

Around 2 months post op I had a drink, it didnt effect me any differently.

That said I didnt really enjoy it, and I found it very filling.

I drank at 3 weeks post op. It was a week long work event that had nightly cocktails hours. And was otherwise very alcohol focused. I was really drinking just to fit in and to not draw attention to my WLS. i did not enjoy drinking. Which was very different from pre op! I felt no difference in the effect of the alcohol though. I never even got the slightest bit buzzed.

After that week I have mostly swore off drinking because it caused a weight gain. That week I averaged 700 cals per day, including alcohol, and returned home to a 2 LB gain. That pissed me off, and made not drinking an easy decision.

Since then I have had a couple of glasses of wine. One was forced upon me by my boss when we were out to dinner on my birthday. The other is when I was having a nice tapas style dinner w a friend that had an amazing wine by the glass menu. That was the first time I really wanted a drink. I had one, it tasted good, but not as good as before. These glasses of wine did not hit me harder than usual, in fact I didn’t feel any effect from them at all.

I am just shy of 2 months post-op. I am debating on trying wine to see what kind of effect it has on me. This of course will be in the confines of my own home, possible with a helmet on. I wouldn't dare try hard liquor yet. I am thinking I will try that around New Years.

Ive had hard liquor but not wine.

But from my experience I think liquor would be easier.

Trying to drink something with too much volume (ie wine, beer) would just bother your tummy and you wouldnt get buzzed since you cant have the volume.

Of course everybodys experiences are different

      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.
