I had the gastric sleeve 2 years ago. I have lost 100 lbs. I am able to drink alcohol but one drink will be enough and it saves money. Lol. I just started having gallbladder issues 5 months go when I was 8 months pregnant. I am seeing my surgeon next week for a consultation to get it removed. The pain is ridiculous but I had to wait to get it out because I was pregnant. As for the bell peppers it is to had to digest the soon after surgery. Also even though I was back to work 2 weeks later, I don't think you will be up to going out that soon. You will be hunched over till your muscles heal from the surgery. I do this my stomach has stretched out more. I lost the weight the first year and have not lost anymore or gained. I only gained 20 lbs with my baby. I also lost the 20 lbs 4 weeks after birth. Just nothing more. I hope this helps.
