Hey all, I have my 6 week follow up tomorrow and I went down some weight but gained weight back. I'm not doing anything I shouldn't be and am pretty nervous with some weight gain. What is the typical weight loss at the 6 week mark? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello all, I had my gastric sleeve surgery on November 15th. It has been such an adventure. I use to be a big drinker before surgery. I stopped about a month before and didn't have any cravings. Now I'm starting to have a craving for a drink. I know and completely understand it is empty calories and it's not healthy. I'm not looking to be criticized. I want to know when people have had drinks how it went and how soon it was. Thanks all. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for all the input everyone. My "bible" as the team calls it says 4 months out. It was my friends wedding last night. I had two cranberry vodkas and didn't feel very much considering I have not drank in almost 3-4 months. I just wanted to fit in, but I just feel so guilty. I know it will never be the same again, but maybe it's a sign that alcohol really doesn't need to be in my life anymore, but then I isolate because I was always the life of the party or when hanging out. I know everyone is different and responds different to alcohol. I'll probably wait longer if I even do drink again. Thanks again for all the input Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
