I'm almost 1 month post op, so I'm just out the gate. I used to LOVE wine, but I've been a good girl and have had nada. I am a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding and I REALLY want to imbue. Be honest. How have you dealt with alcohol? I don't want to go bananas and drink all night, but I'd sure like a glass of wine at the bachelorette party (this Sat) and one at the wedding (June 4). Go for it? One or the other? Avoid? Do you drink? Please put in your 2 cents.

I had my first glass of wine this past weekend at 10 weeks out. I only had one glass of white wine. I drank it slow and did just fine. Fair warning: I have not struggled with anything I've ate or drank so far(besides bread- yuck!). So, I may not be the best person to go by. I was very thirsty the next day though.

There have been a few threads about alcohol consumption in the past few months, you may want to search for those.

Regardless of whether you get to have a drink, I hope you enjoy the heck out of the wedding!

I had my surgery on 2/28 and my birthday was 3/29..... I just had to Celebrate with some wine.

I drank very slowly and didn't really have any issues. Make sure you take something for acid that day. Wine is very acidic so if you are having issues with reflux (which i'm not) be careful.

I had several glasses over a 5 hr period. I put in extra exercise that week and still managed to lose.

Tonight (10 weeks post op) I had a client take me to dinner and I ordered a glass of wine, drank half then didn't want anymore.

It can be managed if on occasion.

Have fun....
