Drinking after surgery
You will probably get various answers on this one. Different surgeons
and programs will have some variation in post-op instructions,
restrictions and practice. My surgeon says no alcohol for a year. I’m
not sure what would change after a year, but I only drank wine
occasionally anyway. Of course, smaller amounts will affect you more
substantially and more quickly. It was also recommended to quit coffee,
and carbonated drinks. I had my operation almost three weeks ago, and
so far it has not been a struggle to give up those things. Pureed food
for 2 months, and so far the adjustment has been much easier than I
imagined.
