Alcohol

I'm meeting up with some of my girlfriends that I haven't seen since college tomorrow. I had surgery on Jan 24th. Can I have a drink?

I don't know. Can you?

Ms. Manners strikes again! :-P

Haha come on, guys! Anyone had a drink when they were 3 months post op?

Haha totally!

Well it's luck of the draw here as to who you get and what they will say....

I'm feeling generous tonight so...

Why yes! Yes you can drink!

I would say just make it a small wine or vodka/cranberry with lots of ice and sip just a little,

Don't go overboard because it can hit you in a good way or cause tummy troubles

Oh and I should put the PC response out there also!!

What does your doctor say about it????

My surgery was jan 28 and I'm scared to drink alcohol, I'm waiting until At least 6 months. Enjoy your drink if you decide to have one!

Sure a drink or maybe even two isn't going to hurt you except calorie wise.

Just go easy ... its been awhile so its going to hit you like you're wallflower

BUT LIKE THE GREAT LAURAOZ SAID... Dr orders prevail

I had my surgery the same day , and yes I've had a glass of wine or two . Honestly, I lost the taste of it . I used to have a glass with dinner every night. ( almost every night) now I only have it on special occasions. It doesn't taste the same for some crazy reason . I did feel warm and fuzzy after the one glass.

Sure, you can have a drink if you want one!

A low calorie one !

Your sleeve may or may not approve. If doc says okay, it's all trial and error.

I was told minimum of 30 days. Others were told different.

I was supposed to go to a wine tasting last night, and I'm pushing 5 weeks postop, but my friend canceled last minute. So I didn't go.

I do not have a personal experience to share just yet.

I took a sip of my wife's wine while out a dinner with friends. I felt the burn from my throat to my sleeve and have not tried again. I would speak to your doctor or nutritionist for advice.

My doc just replied back and said, "go ahead, CHEERS!!"

Woo hooo!!
