Weight Loss and Alcohol
If you’re considering getting weight loss surgery but like your nights out, you might want to think again. Bariatric surgery is a broad group of surgeries that can have an effect on your weight, and most, if not all, of them (including Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy) carry the real risk of lowering your alcohol tolerance. This means that a weight loss surgery will make you far more vulnerable to alcohol compared to a normal person.
When you are trying to lose weight it is essential that you avoid alcohol. Everybody likes a drink every now and then but the main problem is that alcohol nurtures addiction. Not just in terms of drinking alcohol but also in preventing you from stopping other addictions. It is important to avoid alcohol so that you don’t fall back into the traps that led you to put on weight in the first place.
Take, for example, the nature of alcohol itself. Alcohol essentially consists of hops that have been left to ferment and, importantly, sugar. This process increases the net calorie intake of the beverage and means that each drink uses up a large proportion of your recommended daily calorie intake.
