I got sleeved August 2017 and had my first drink on thanksgiving. It was marvelous. I drink 1-2 glasses of wine or gluten free beer daily. Biggest concern is empty calories and it can cause reflux. Vodka is the MVP for calories. Otherwise just count it in your log.

My doctor said I could have a drink starting 21 days post-op, which is what I did :) I had a glass of wine. No bad reactions at all, but it took me forever to drink and of course I was very wary about the calories. I was afraid I'd feel nauseous or get buzzed super quick, but nope, everything felt normal. I had a sip of beer though yesterday but it was too carbonated for my stomach, so beer is currently a pass for me.

I am almost 5 mos post op. I went on a 7 day cruise on Feb 3rd and bought the drink package. I tried wine and all kinds of mixed drinks and NEVER even got a buzz. Anyone else have this happen? I have never been a big drinker but was really hoping to enjoy the drinks on the cruise since I couldn't enjoy the food.

I was expecting my tolerance to be one drink but I can have a bottle of wine and be totally sober even if my BAC says otherwise. I think I’m not absorbing the alcohol or something magical. Was really looking forward to being a cheap drunk.

I’m 2 months out. I had a glass of white wine when we went out for hubby’s Birthday, it was fine. I also tried a light red 1 night at home, 1/2 glass went straight to my head so the rest went down the sink! My tolerance is definitely a lot lower than presurgery when I could happily sit and drink half a bottle watching TV and more on special occasions

I never asked/ was never told ( when I had my sleeve 10/2017) but I heard 6 mo from a coworker who had it done so I waited till then. I always got a "burning" sensation going down so I really never finished them. But maybe I will give it a shot again in a few months ( I just had bypass- I'm not sure how long to wait with this one)

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
