3 months...that was OK'd by my doctor. You should always follow what your doc says. I've read some docs want you to wait 6 months or a year to start consuming alcohol.

I wasn't a big drinker before surgery, but I did enjoy a drink every once in a while. My drink of choice now is a vodka cranberry with a twist of lime. I can only have one at a time because I can feel the effects right away. I'm a cheap date now!

Our doctor suggested we wait 6 months, so we did (my wife was sleeved 2 months after me.). We weren't heavy drinkers prior to surgery, so it really wasn't a big deal.

drinks of choice are a blender (I knew that damn Ninja would come in handy after the pureed phase! ), some ice and just about any combination you can fathom of vodka, Malibu rum, Fireball, Ocean Spray diet cranberry/diet cran-pomeganate/diet cran-blueberry, various Crystal Light flavors, etc.

I was bored one night and made an adult smoothie that is now my wife's favorite...ice, bananas, strawberries, almond milk, Malibu rum, vodka and a heaping scoop of vanilla Gladiator Protein powder...gotta get the Protein in, by any means necessary!

Shucks, all this talk about drinks, gotta go get my blender!

Good luck on your journey!
