I am probably going to be getting a gastric bypass surgery within the next few months and am wondering about beer consumption. This is not a deciding factor at all, but I do enjoy the occasional beer.

    to get the best answer, you should probably ask your doctor

    No, you can’t drink after the surgery. Beer is empty calories with no nutritional value. A Gastric Bypass patient cannot afford to waste calories. You could literally blow your entire days calories on a beer. Gastric Bypass Patients get drunk quicker. about 2 ozs will do you in, no matter how much you drank prior to surgery.

    my surgeons group states no carbonated drinks. Will fill you up quicker, irritate the pouch and eventually stretch it out. good look on your journey.
