laceemouse 631 Posted October 6, 2016 I don't know for sure as I'm not a doc but I would imagine the beer would fall under the same "warnings" as any other carbonated drink. I can't imagine marijuana causing any issues down the line (although I'd check with your surgeon), and as far as coke goes, I would HIGHLY recommend that be the one you put away for good. Good luck to you.My surgeon says no beer ever again because of the foam. A lady in my support group tried a beer several months after surgery and regretted it, very painful. But many people here seem to be fine with it. I can't imagine drinking a beer or wine or any alcohol slowly. Yuck. You gotta need a buzz bad to enjoy warm booze. Gross.

higher 966 Posted October 6, 2016 You can't imagine drinking a glass of good full bodied red wine slowly? Or sipping a peaty scotch? You must drink cheap booze. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lunnah 101 Posted October 6, 2016 The one person that can give you an answer you can trust is your doc, full disclosure with him/her it is your life and the doc should not judge you should just be straight up with the answer Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hking74 12 Posted October 6, 2016 Serious question! Why do you care about losing weight but dont care about your heart possibly exploding from doing rails??? Im sorry It doesn't make sense. I used to do it yrs ago so I get why you love it but if you don't love yourself enough to stop then why the surgery? Not being mean. Its a serious question!

miss_smiles 192 Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Just an update for whoever wants to know: Sleeved on 3/28 - 6 months out as of 9/28. These are just my personal experiences, it may vary from individual to individual. Also, I do not know the long term effects, these are just the immediate effects. (please no judging, I am writing this to try to help people, not get berated) Weed: Same effect as pre-surgery. Still get high, but also still get the munchies. Make sure you do not give into temptation because you may overeat. I was a lightweight pre-surgery and still am after so not sure if quantity makes a difference. Coke/Molly/E: same effect as pre-surgery. Watch out for quantity. Your body will process this much quicker then before because of your smaller stomach. Be sure to stay hydrated. Do not need to worry about eating, because you will have no appetite. Alcohol: same effects as pre-surgery. Watch out for quantity at first. As you drink more, you may notice your tolerance will go up, not quite as much as pre-surgery. But I can go out and have 6 drinks easily without getting sick. I just end up tipsy/drunk depending on how fast I drank, how much Water I drank, or if I ate a few hours before drinking. Also what I drink - wine or mixed drinks. I stay away from beer and carbonated mixers. That still upsets my stomach. Cigarettes: same effects as pre-surgery. I quit then started up a couple months after surgery. Would not recommend smoking because it does more damage in the long term. Wish I would never have picked it up again. Hope this helps. Again, I just want to say I am not endorsing these behaviors, just sharing my experience.
