Hi! I was wondering if anyone knew when it was ok to start drinking alcohol again after surgery? It seems like everyone's saying different things regarding drinking post surgery. I'm 2 weeks postop right now but was wondering if I could drink by the end of July? I want to be able to celebrate graduations and birthdays with my friends again ):

Period changes after vsg
beckastev replied to Rey Rodriguez's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also struggle with PCOS and never had periods without Provera before surgery. I got my period 3 days post op until day 7 and I spot basically every other day now (I'm 2 weeks postop today) and was told that it was normal so my suggestion is just wear liners every day just in case ): -
Hi Guys! My brother works at a juice bar and has always brought me home freshly squeezed juices from work and I was wondering if they're still ok to drink even through the post op diet? My nutritionist never said anything about them, but before I drink one i want to make sure no one else was advised against them...? Your feedback is very much appreciated!! (:

Why have I not lost any weight yet?
beckastev replied to Rey Rodriguez's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes, I'm a week out and haven't lost any weight either but read on a few threads on here that it was normal due to our bodies still recuperating from the recent change and pain going on and that some people don't notice change for weeks so I wouldn't get too hung up on the number on the scale!! I'm sure we'll both see changes soon!! -

Hi! I have surgery tomorrow morning (06/23). i started my preop diet of the protein shakes yesterday and i've been feeling some mild acid reflux and am unsure if it's actually normal or if I might just be getting reflux from all my nerves- i haven't even had a full nights sleep for a week now due to my anxiety of the procedure - anyone else experience something like this before surgery and it turn out ok? I'm really scared to go in tomorrow 😕

Hi! I'm 2 days post op and everything is killing me, but at least I don't have reflux so I guess it was just nerves after all haha -
