I was told not to hv a drink for a year. My friend was told 3 months and my other friend 6 months and wine is ok. Just curious about others. ??

3 months

I was also told a year but that my dr understansd around the holidays you may want to have ONE glass of wine or a beer. I'm so thirsty all the time; I think trying to drinking alcohol would be bad for me. I got some stuff to flavor my water (lime and lemon) but I thinkc rystal like actaully has alcohol flavored drink mix now that is still zero cal, zero sugar. I might try some of those

The Appletini is the really great.

I was given the okay for alcohol in moderation after a month. Moderation is the key. If I do drink it should be no more than 1 a day. Honestly though it doesn't sound enjoyable. I'm waiting for a while before I try it.

Most docs, mine included would like you to stay off alcohol for at least 6 months. My NUT said it would be "OK" after 3 months. The things you have to be careful of is one the behavior changes...getting the "munchies" and remember that alcohol flushes not only the water from your system but also the B12 so moderation is the key. My NUT reminded me that spirits (vodka, whiskey ect) do not have carbs its the stuff we mix with them..but stuff like beer, liqueors and stuff are loaded. Also alcohol is wasted calories..like a 4 oz glass of wine has 100 empty calories. Good Luck

had 2 glasses of cabernet the other night, I am 7weeks. It did nothing for me at all! Not even a buzz.......I was expecting to get smashed....NOPE!!!! probably wont drink again............

Its different for everyone..personally I had a burning feeling as it went down. I found the more my drinks were watered down , the more I enjoyed them. Take it slow and decide for yourself, one or two days of enjoying the holidays and new sleeve in not a going to set you back.

The crystal light mock alcohol drinks are so good, you could easily pour it into whatever glass and blend in at a party or whatever. The margarita one even has a tequila-ish after taste

I go to a lot of business dinners & mixers; I'll be sipping crystal light heehee

I have had wine from time to time starting at week 7 with no problems, didn't even get a buzz. (my doctor said to wait a year).

N I'm 5 weeks out .......I have me some cranberry n hi c orange mixed ready to drink......

I'm 3 weeks I had drinks for both holidays possibly too many. I'm fine no hangovers is nice.
