I had surgery on 2/10 and went on an 8 day cruise 5 weeks later. Parrot Head Cruise 2009, 500 Jimmy Buffett fans on a cruise that raises money for breast cancer research ... Key words there are "Parrot Head". Yeah, I drank. No problems at all. Now, I only lost 2 pounds that week, the extra calories in drinks do add up.....

I'm impressed that you were able to lose 2 pounds while on a cruise.

I love margaritas and I do indulge from time to time. However, it seems all I have to do is look at a margarita and I gain weight.

Please Cathy, tell me your secret:drool:

My surgeon says no alcohol the first year and after that in moderation. You don't want to take in all your calories through liquid.< /p>

I forget the exact number of days, but it was while I was still on the liquids phase. It was totally fine.

Only thing is. . just be sure not to overdo it. You do NOT want to be hungover to the point of throwing up. Other than that, most people are fine to enjoy in moderation! :wink2:

Cheers!

I was allowed to drink while on post op liquid phase. I asked in my 1 week post op and they said you can drink now. Again i didn't want to overdo it just had a glass of wine being that I haven't had food in 4 weeks!

They also tell us that we can drink some alcohol before dinner to help relax things.

I drank exactly one month post op. I had 3 glasses of wine, spread out over about 5 hours. No problems at all!
