This Saturday I will be 2 1/2 weeks post op. I feel great! My dilemma is that my high school reunion is this Saturday and there is a certain amount of stress that comes with that even though I am very much looking forward to it. And I really want to have a great time. What I really want to do is have a little bit of wine to take the edge off. I know it is not recommended but my question is...what would happen? I don't intend to make a habit of it. I just want to drop a little bit of inhibition and feel comfortable to have some fun and make some memories.

Thoughts? Anyone tried some wine so soon into the process?

My doctor told me I could have the occasional glass of wine at two weeks post op. I have been having a glass or two weekly since then. It feels a little different, slight burn, but still nice to have every now and then. Everything in moderation.

I am almost three months post op and have lost thirty pounds so far. I have about 35 more pounds to lose until goal.

I would say nay on wine that early - wine is soooo acidic.

If you do, then try it maybe Thursady eve to see what happens. if you get too giddy, or get sick! Thursday would give you friday to recover.
