I will be 3 months out in march and I will be going on a cruise. Would it be too soon to try a little margarita or a glass of wine? I know there are no nutritional benefits, but I would like to indulge in one if it will not harm me.

Thanks

My surgeon says no alcohol for a year. I know many people don't stick to those guidelines. I don't know that it would do physical harm, but I won't risk it for quite a while I don't think.

As much as I hate this answer...my doctors encourage me to avoid alcohol for a year after surgery.

Kaiser has taught us that alcohol can kill us! So I have no desire to prove them wrong. I don't need to drink. I'm happy right where I am.

I got a 6 month rule for alcohol.

Have a margarita! But without the tequila

I had two glasses of wine this past weekend (4wks out). I didnt have any problems. Just treat it as you would any other new food. I don't know if I would try hard liquor though. Non sparkling wine worked good for me.
