So here is a thought, I dont drink but I am going away in the summer to the Caribbean and I was thinking laying at the beach and a bartender comes around with a very cold beer. What would u do? I know we are not allowed to drink alcohol so I'm just curious anyone had a beer after surgery and what happened

I would say no thank you- but I might get a differetn sort of drink if I was on vacation and I wanted to have a drink- depending how far post op I was. Beer won't ever be in my future again but I will drink again occasionally at some point farther down the road. It won't be my norm but I am sure I will.

Bartenders will serve you anything you want not just beer

Stay dedicated to your plan and You can serve looks on the beach

Enjoy Vacay

Love this!

From what I understand, the problem is not just the alcohol, it's the carbonation too. It would probably not be as enjoyable as you might imagine. Get a tropical non-alcoholic fruity drink!

Or just a cold water

I’m at the beach now I’m 4 months post op and I have drunk a beer or 2 a day I know I shouldn’t ? it didn’t hurt me but I am worried about it messing with my pouch. Have fun ?

I’ve seen mixed views on this. I have had two beers and am 5 mos post op. I had two hard seltzer’s but those bother me cuz they were too carbonated but the beer didn’t. So who knows. Not something I’ll do often

I'm probably a bad patient - I allow myself to drink on vacation (I did at about 6 months out). But I can't handle carbonation or much sugar (no fun fruity drinks ). So, I typically order wine or vodka cranberry (heavy on the cran). I can usually only finish about half a glass, but its nice to have a bit.

I only drink in vacation as well so hopefully it don’t hurts to bad
