I have a concert at the end of July and my surgery is end of June how long before you can have a glass of wine ? Not sure if I will ever want to have another drink after the surgery bit I'm just curious

I'm 2 weeks post op and I had a small (1/4 c) of red wine last night. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the taste. I let the wine sit on my pallet and it wasn't bad. It relaxed me...I was afraid it would do damage to my healing process, pouring alcohol in my healing tummy. I felt fine.

I have a glass of wine every now and again. But I really feel guilty about consuming the empty calories, that takes me off of my plan, so I avoid it as much as I can. Quit drinking beers altogether and haven't had a cocktail in about 8 months. Really like how I feel!

At a month out, I'd try it at home first. You don't want to ruin your concert. The first glass I had was about a month out. It was white wine and I only drank about a half a glass. It upset my stomach and gave me a headache. Have fun at the concert!

Thanks for the advice I might just skip drinking all together How did you do with your surgery and if you don't mind me asking how much weight have you lost ?

Are you serious? I was told absolutely no beer, never. I am a beer drinker, so that made me sad...but I think a beer, that is carbonated & expands in your stomach, is super risky at 2 weeks post op. I will probably try drinking a beer a year post op.

I am less than 2 weeks out. They said I could have wine. First of all I drank too much and threw up. Then the next day I could barely move. It was like hangover x10. I stayed in bed all day. I guess next time I will just sip one glass, if there is a next time. May just give it up now hen I added the wine to my fitness pal I was disgusted at the calories.

Find out when your doc clears you to drink.

Alcohol is empty calories so just keep that in the back of your mind. Also crossover addiction is a concern. But one night after doc clears you probably won't be too risky.

Beer may make you feel bloated, but it wouldn't stretch your stomach. If any excess gas is stuck you will burp it out just like pre-op. With the fundus removed, the stretchy part is gone.

Alcohol on a fresh cut probably doesn't feel too good. So at least six weeks. But again ask your surgeon.

alcohol has affected my weight loss, I'm definitely limiting myself to 1 day at week.

after the surgery I was feeling depressed and found myself drinking 3 - 4 times per week, n 9 months Ive only lost 60lbs. which makes me sad to know, i let my emotions take over.
