    Drinking Alcohol after surgery

    This isn't a necessary answer to the person who asked but for future people that find themselves on this page. Listen i am a 22 year old student,my surgery was 5 weeks ish ago, I lost 50 pounds and now I am at 211 pounds. I am at university and I know there are just moments where you eant to celebrate without the constant oh it's not healthy yada yada. Some surgeons tell you to wait 6 months some tell you whenever you are ready mine told me the later and said after a month is fine. Okay so I tried my tolerance now today, because of all the stories of people saying thst their tolerance went to sh*ts. I used to be a good drinker before but only at social gatherings. I drank wodka shots today about 8 through out 3 hours and felt absolutely fine, maybe tipsyish but not even fully and I sobered up so quickly. My advice is to eat a good meal like a good hour beforehand (I ate a small potatoe a bacon strip) and then drink. And to maybe test it out as every person is different. Okay but do remember it contains a lot of calories, wodka has the least in comparison to other spirits, so don't make it a habit. But this was mostly for my youngsters who like to occasionally party.

    Any college students?

    This isn't a necessary answer for the person who asked as this was years ago but for people who found this page. I got my surgery like a monthish ago and have still 2 and a half weeks til college starts, I am in second year and I am 22 years old. If you consider this surgery giver yourself atleast this amount of time because i think people myself included underestimate how tough recovery can be, i am still nowhere near fully recovered but believe me the first month is hard. You need to relearn how to eat and it will not be pleasant if you make a mistake while that, i recommend not doing this over a small holiday, because this is still a surgery and like any other your body needs to get used to it. Believe me no matter who you are you will not really be prepared for what's to come so spare yourself and give yourself a good time to heal.
