My surgeon told me about 4-5 months post op it's safe to have a drink. He recommended MGD 64 for beer since the big concern is consuming calories when you need to use calories to get in your Protein. Also, nothing with carbonation like rum and coke. He also said to be very aware that it will hit you 10x harder than it would before since it'll be released into our blood stream a lot quicker. so just have a drink and make it last all night. at least it'll be a cheap night!

mgd 64 is carbonated, not sure that's a good idea.. I think beer is out.. I stick to shots or mixed drinks.. Deserano and pineapple are good, if I want something a little stronger Vodka and pineapple, cranberry, or orange juice.< /p>

I love a good cosmo provided the bartender knows how to make it right. I'm months away from having one though since I'm just 1 week post op. Oh, Weed and Water (Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea Vodka) might be a good one too. Happy early 21st!

I'm about 7 weeks out now and I've had a glass of wine now and then. I had a Riesling and a sweet red and both went down fine. Didn't feel buzzed from it at all either (heard rumors of becoming a cheap drunk!). I haven't tried hard liquor but I got sick from that before surgery anyways so I'll probably steer clear.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
