*The gas in fizzy drinks can build up in the stomach and cause discomfort. It is best to avoid fizzy drinks soon after surgery. Before you experiment with fizzy drinks wait until you have healed and have learned to understand the signals your body gives you. Discuss in more detail with your surgeon or dietitian.
Alcohol
Alcoholic drinks are generally high in energy (kilojoules or calories). They can increase your appetite and alter your judgment around food, making it difficult to manage your weight. Whilst there are some reported health benefits of alcohol consumption, it is not recommended that non‐drinkers start to drink alcohol for this reason.
Alcohol in moderation is not harmful, but an excessive alcohol intake can lead to health problems. It is currently recommended that men and women have no more than two standard drinks per day and include two alcohol free days per week.
A standard drink is often less than most people consume, particularly those poured at home. A standard drink calculator (available online) can help you determine the number of standard drinks you are consuming.
If you enjoy alcohol, consider it an ‘indulgence’ (discussed earlier) and incorporate it into your life as such.
