Weight loss and alcohol part 2
Jul 08, 2009
OK so I posted the last blog on MySpace as well as here and a friend who also had WLS replied to it and I felt it necessary to post it here. I will not name names but please read...it really shocked/scared me!! NO MORE DRINKING FOR THIS CHICK!"Not only does the dense calories cause a stall but I also learned this at the education class tonight (so how ironic you blogged about it) ... alcohol in gastric bypass patients causes huge liver problems. My surgeon was just at the annual GB conference in Dallas and she shared the articles with us tonight ... because it's a malabsorptive surgery we filter things different through our bodies now ... and alcohol is one of them. You are hugely more prone to liver disease or failure as compared to a regular person. I guess surgeons and doctors are beginning to see a big increase in GB patients with liver complications. So I am all for less alcohol and more protein!! :) but that's just my .02"
