TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted December 2, 2012 I been having alcohol since 3 months. It's not an everyday thing. I was not advice not to drink. I do know alcohol hits me hard now after surgery but everything is small amount is good. If you read my fitness pal I got drink kept drinking & had half a bottle lmbo. Felt fine next day but wouldn't recommend to drink that much. Was celebrating how I made 6 months since WLS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBdoodle 483 Posted December 2, 2012 I had wine about 3 monts post op. The alcohol does not effect me any different post op. Just remember alochol is a empy calorie and moderation is key. I have a couple of wines during the week, I am 9 months post op and have no problems drinking alcohol what so ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
