Can you start drinking alcohol? I'm 5 months out. Lost 100 pounds so far. But I was just wondering if anyone knew? I'm kinda scared to call and ask my surgeon......

 I had surgery a week before you and I started drinking alcohol again about 3 weeks ago so I would say you're probably good to go. I will say that you will probably have a much lower tolerance after loosing 100lbs because my tolerance definitely dropped significantly! Also, watch how much you drink because alcohol and the things its typically mixed in are crazy high in calories!

I would talk to your surgeon to see what their preference is and why... my surgeon would prefer never but he suggests until you are done losing weight or to at least wait a year.
Remember that alcohol is a lot of empty calories and sugar so be wary and hold yourself accountable - you dont want to not maximize the 'honeymoon period' or lose out on any of the 'weight loss window'.

First visit to surgeon - 288 ~ bmi 45.1
2 week pre-op 252 ~ bmi 39.5
Total lost - 153 Since surgery - 117!
Goal weight - 155 (mine) 180 (surgeons)
Current weight - 135 (2020 I lost 10lbs due to dedicating myself to working out more and being in better shape)

 my surgeron told me to wait till the 6 months mark and i did. that day i got wasted lol.
try it 1th at home. for me it wasnt diferent than before surgery. didnt get drunk any faster . but be carful with the sugars. and frappe drinks would make u drink less cuz of the ice that is heavy in ur pouch. 
good luck!
hugs
