Summer, beaches and a cold cold beer!!!



Recommended Posts

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.

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!

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.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
