Diet after surgery

Hi,
I am 23 years old and have had Colitis since I was ten. I have been hospitalized for a week now and will be having my colon removed next week in a two part process where I will wear a bag for twelve weeks and then have a j pouch. Before the surgery I smoked marijuana recreationally and drank alcohol, usually in moderation, about once a week. I was wondering how long after the first and second surgeries I would be able to drink alcohol and smoke again. Also, when I drank excessively with the UC I felt the repercussions for a couple of days; will I be able to drink more than I did before without hurting myself as much when I have the j pouch?
Thank You
