Hi i was wondering if after a bypass or sleeve can you still drink alcohol

They said you can, but it makes you drunk so much quicker - I tried a glass of wine at Christmas but to be honest - it didnt taste the same - and its empty calories i would rather have something yummy than waste them xx

I personally don't drink but was told that it's empty calories and not advised for 2 yrs xx

what does emptie calories mean ?

 

[anna2131]

You get no nutrition valur from it and the calories are empty so store in the body as they give us nothing where as wen we eat food we gain nutrition from the food after the op !!!

Hello there

I am sure your provider will tell you their rules/terms for you drinking alcohol post op as every providers rules differ but on the whole for a rny op I have found many to be no alcohol for at least one year post op, I am sure someone who is under the same provider will be along to shed some light on it for you, if your unsure you can always ask your surgeon when u see them next - wishing u all the best - MeJulie xx

it means you have calories that will turn to fat that dont give you any nutrional value, say 300 cals for a alchaholic drink as apposed to 300 cal for a nice piece of chicken - that will give you nutriants and make you full............... see the difference?
