My doctor said one month. I went 3 weeks and had a glass of wine with my friends. No problems but it is empty calories.

I was told a year by my nut. I've been secretly having a little wine though

My doctor said 1 month out. I had 3 glasses of wine 2 months out and was fine

Is that all at once? With the sleeve, 3 will probably cause pretty severe intoxication. Heck, one glass of wine makes us drunk.

I had 1 glass of champagne at 4 months and it made me so sick, and it tasted like vinegar. Haven't touched anything since.

One glass of wine does not get me drunk. 3 shots of whiskey though does the trick

I had a vodka cranberry last weekend and didn't get sick or even tipsy. It seems like some people get drunk faster and some ppl it isn't any different than before surgery. For me it's the latter...so unfortunately I'm not as cheap of a date as I wanted!

What about a pint of Guinness? Or two? Anyone know impact? Have not tried any beer post sleeve yet and maybe Guinness is too bubbly.

I experimented at about 7 mos preop. I used to enjoy beer- not so much now. It just doesn't taste good. I stick to patron gold. I get buzzed pretty quick, but I rebound quickly. I tried a margarita while out with the girls and it was too much. I felt sick. So, I stick to my old reliable- TEQUILA! ;)

I used to enjoy apple martinis on business trips. Those were really good. I am not much of a drinker since being sleeved, but it is nice to only need one.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
