When did you have an alcoholic beverage?

HI! I am going to a reception this weekend and am wanting to have a glass of wine or non-carbonated alcoholic beverage. I feel great, am losing but unsure of trying this. I am almost 2 months post op. Thoughts?.......Thanks!

4+ months post op I went to my sisters wedding anniversary party. i had a teeny tiny glass of red wine and couldn't finish it - hurt my tummy. After that, I abstained until I got to goal. I always had this visual in the first months post op is to treat your sleeve like a new born baby, gently.... slowly introducing new experiences. Consider having one sip and calling it good, you will have lots of opportunities when you get to goal to enjoy the occasional drink.

Surgery was 5/22 and on July 4 I had just a couple sips of white wine. It was ok.

<shrug> I didnt feel motivated to drink the whole thing. Pre surgery I would have had several glasses!

curious about this as well. I would like to have one glass of wine saturday but only 6 weeks post op. I probably will not but still curious.

I had 3/4 shot of Gentleman Jack Daniels mixed with about an oz. of Water last weekend (6 weeks postoperative). Be careful! It hits hard and fast. I think if I had another I would have been totally trashed for awhile.

Have fun at the wedding. I suggest sampling a small drink or 2 tonight so you know how your body reacts. Im not one for trying new things in public though.

My diet DOES allow alcohol at 6 weeks, but nothing carbonated for another month.

Had surgery on 11/7 & got approval drink drink wine on 12/31. Drink a half glass of white wine. Not bad but felt a little tipsy. Didn't hurt the Timmy though.

I think everyone is a bit different. I can drink a 5 oz glass of wine over an hour, no problems. I'm at 12 weeks.

I was about 2 months out when my doc told me I could.

I was maybe 3 weeks out, other than high liquid calories my doc didn't have any restrictions on it. Yes, it does hit me much harder than before though !!
