Alcohol

[geets 44]

How soon can you drink after gastric bypass surgery? I'm planning on hitting the dating sites after I've reached my goal weight loss. I'm interested in knowing whether I'll be able to consume a little alcohol if I'm on a date or just out generally ? Unfortunately my poison of choice is Prosecco,which is fizzy. Would I be able to tolerate it ?

I'd wait until 1 year for drinking alcohol. I started drinking wine at 9 months and i think it slowed down my weight loss. Also, u might not be able to tolerate carbonated drinks. I know my nutritionist recommended avoiding them. I can tolerate some coolers like 1 or 2 anymore and I'll dump. Cannot stomach beer too gassy...almost 2 years post.

I was told to steer clear of alcohol because it can cause ulcers. Also, your tolerance to alcohol can change. It tends to make you intoxicated faster with the consumption of less.
I was also told, if you want to try it, wait at least a year because it dehydrates you.
You should avoid carbonation and drinking through straws. They both can introduce too much air into your pouch and it can be painful.

Thanks Colleen,even now I can't tolerate more than 2 glasses. So drinking is going to be out of the equation!
