K Wait, So No Alcohol Ever?!

Ever?

It's not recommended, although I've had a cocktail here and there. There is a high incidence of people developing an addiction because of the way it metabolizes. I know many people that are post bypass and drink socially without issue.

Good to know, not that I'm in any rush to drink but I'd like to have a glass of wine on New Years! Thanks for responding!

I'm 7 weeks out and drank a beer while on vacation. Made me full and I got a buzz for like 20 min. Really not worth it!

I'm seven weeks out and had wine a couple night s ago and and Bacardi has Bacardi zero so bring it on. Ha ha ha I still enjoy going out with friends I'm not gonna cut it out of my life but I'm also not making it my life. Enjoy!

I am 10 weeks out and have had an occastional glass of wine in the evenings and had no problem. However it does go straight to your head. You can not drink the volume you did before the surgery. Make sure someone's with you the first time you drink as you may not know how you will react with your new body!

Really good advice. I have had a few glasses of wine since surgery almost 4 months ago and have discovered my new limit is two glasses. I used to be able to drink a lot more than that!

I will admit I'm kind of scared to try liquor if any kind.

I had 1 cup of piña colada with rum. So delicious.

I had to sign a thing stating I wouldnt drink for a year but I kno MANY ppl who drank w in 4 months and 6 months. But nothing to serious just one or two drinks but still bad idea. Just think of how u felt the next day after surgery and times that by 5 plus puking yea noooo Ty!!

Just does not seem worth it to me. Believe me, I enjoyed my wine before surgery. But I have worked too to get to this point & I am not tempted one bit. It is just liquid calories & my buzz right now is how great I feel.

I had a Malibu and pineapple juice the other night at a hibachi restaurant felt great no dump!

I have heard from many people that there is a high rate of alcoholism post surgery. Is it easier to become addicted to alcohol after surgery? Would it have to do with the way it is metabolizes? It's kind of scary.

I had 2 vodka with orange juice. Didnt buzz but then I've never gotten high ever, no matter how much I drink. not worth the time, money or effort.
