Help -CAMAW/Alcohol???

Good morning all,

Okay folks, I need some advice! The last time I did CAMAW, I was very constipated. This time, I have the opposite problem. Full disclosure...just before we started this challenge, I went on a girl's weekend where I way over indulged on VODKA on Friday. I paid for it the rest of the weekend. Pouch was not happy, head hurt and intestinal distress started Sunday, started CAMAW Monday. This was my first-time drinking alcohol. Did I just freak out my liver/gall bladder/new intestines or could it be something else??? Thoughts anyone?

My doctor warned me I probably will never be able to handle alcohol well again. It also takes a lot less alcohol to get you drunk. I am pre-op but I would stay away from alcohol for at last the first year.

Thanks for the reply. I know better from the advice here. My NUT is the one that said alcohol is okay. Not to deprive myself. I called her and she does not think I did any damage, probably just over did it. I'm glad i was with good friends...because I do not remember anything after the first couple of drinks. Lesson learned, no more drinking for me!

At least now you know for next time! My favorite drink is vodka cranberry :( I'll miss them.

Over-indulging could have as you said 'freaked your system out' face it overindulging can do that WLS or not.

one of the concerns with drinking while losing weight is both are very taxing on your liver.

I did not have alcohol until after my 2nd Anniversary and about 6 months into maintaining.

While we may feel drunk quickly then sober quickly don't fool yourself, it has not been metabolized out of your system.

I have definitely learned from this. After this evperience, i have no problem giving up drinking!
