  • 1 year for me. I am sticking to it. There's nothing that I can drink or put in my mouth that means more to me that hitting my goal and being healthy.

  • I'd love to have a beer.

  • I waited 3 weeks I'm a lush. I was fine. no beer and No carbonated drinks. Wine is goo just drink slow.

You prolly should consult your Dr cause everyones Dr have different opinions about drinking you might have different answers when ppl respond some ppl say their doc say never some say three months or even six months that's why I say ask your doc good luck on getting the info

Thanks

Search the threads there is heaps of questions relating to this topic. I personally waited 7 weeks (I was told 2 months - but hey it was xmas and close enough). Went down very slowly but fine.

I waited 3 weeks I'm a lush. I was fine. no beer and No carbonated drinks. Wine is goo just drink slow.

They recommend no alcohol for a year, at least my Dr. does. Don't bother me though, I was never a big drinker.

My Dr said no alcohol for at least a year.

I went to my 1 month F/U appt yesterday and my doc said it was fine to have a glass of wine. NO BEER, NO SWEET DRINKS, NO CARBONATED drinks.

Forgot to write. I didn't ask him, he just mentioned it.

Went to my 6 wk appt this week. My doc said I have no restrictions. Stay away from soft drinks bec they are bad for you. Beer is fine just remember it is empty calories. The carbonation may make you feel gassy but it isn't going to hurt you.

Becareful when asking about alcohol !! Got reamed for it !! Anyways my doc said 3 weeks!

Exactly my point ... I did it 2 weeks but my dr. Said 3 weeks . And I'm not going to tell her to do it early . I have nothing to hide

I'm just saying what she said and what you said was different you did it before your doc said and did it before u seek advice really I was just tell her the facts so she won't get the wrong facts
