Drinking alcohol so early out is a risk to your stomach that is healing inside your body. Tissues are in a delicate state.

I had 1/2 of a bloody mary the other day at 2 weeks out and nothing happened.

Alcohol can cause bleeding this early out. In addition, it can cause dehydration (which is already a risk after WLS). Please be careful.

For some reason most people (mainly from the us) keep mentioning 6 months.. It must be what they advise over there, my doctor advised 6 weeks.. And I'm going to see beyonce on the 5th of July and I absolutely will be drinking with no fear. I'll do a trial run a few days prior to see what I can handle.. But I'd just ask your doctor.

Feel bad physically or mentally? Don't beat yourself up - move on and stick to your plan! There's certainly worse you could have "cheated" with.
i had some crackers and I feel mentally bad

I know the alcohol is not good this early I actually kind of ordered it without thinking. I have had such an easy time with surgery and no pain etc.... that I can forget the limitations

I saw the Formation tour 2 weeks ago and it was amazing. You are in for a treat! And some serious fitness inspiration as her choreography and body are mind blowingly strong.

Oh, she does lots of the classics. She goes way back to "Me, Myself, and I" and even goes back to Destiny's Child material a bit. You will not be disappointed. But you should try more to get into Lemonade! It will grow on you and she does some of the best songs from that album (even I don't like the country song though.)

The visuals are crazy....never seen a concert like it.

My surgeon said it was ok he just don't want me to have wasted calories and make it a habit. I am almost 6 weeks out I did try a drink last week I just did vodka because it low calorie and with ice Water and I added my zero calorie mix lol I did get a buzz from that 1 shot that took me like a hour to drink .I will only drink a shot maybe once every 2 months so I think I will be good on not messing my calorie intake

Take it from someone who likes alcohol... Don't do it lol... My cousin had her surgery done 13yrs ago and says she is still a cheap date after a glass of wine and doesn't realize it until to late sometimes.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
