TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted November 20, 2012 I had 1 drink about 3 months after surgery during thR summer. Best drink ever. I felt fine but it lasted me long compare to having 3/4 cups of piña colada with double shot of rum. Wait I had a skinny girl rum like 1 months after 4 months I think. It was with a little soda which I stop drinking soda forever now. Had no side affects. Infact I felt to damn happy lmbo. 1 mommy327 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NikiG 113 Posted November 21, 2012 So I guess it is true that post-op surgery drinking is some what of a hazard... I always heard it was a major difference! I went out to drink for basically the first time and tried to drink like I used to... Well this was the result!!! Starting Weight = 344 (July 27th) Current Weight = 257 Wow... That's serious. Glad you weren't driving. Be careful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrianneP. 8 Posted November 28, 2012 I just asked my dr today when it was safe to have a little alcohol (hell if we cant eat we might as well have a little fun drinking every now and then!) So they told me 1 year post op. Im only 20 days post op...i don't think i could wait a whole year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie Welch 1 Posted December 5, 2012 Dont judge but I could only wait alittle over a month after surgery to try alcohol. I can say that the buzz hits me alot sooner but its not much different than before. I regularly drink cherry vodka mixed with liquid ice and ive only had one blackout but Chippendales were in town.

bakawaka 108 Posted December 5, 2012 If you truly enjoy alcohol, then go for it. I would suggest being highly aware of the new way it gets processed. Everything in balance - the key is finding that new balance. 2 Eva Chavez and mommy327 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
