Hi All:

So I'm 1 week post op and haven't told many people...so I want to start hanging out with my friends again and I'm wondering if it's okay to have a glass of wine so soon after surgery? In no way am I any sort of alchie but I just want to be able to be social again since all of my pre-op dieting is over....opinions?

The first time I had wine was abot 3 weeks post op--I was on mushies at the time and only had 1 small glass which I realy nursed. No problems with it at all. I would be wary about drinking 1 week out though because you aren't eating anything remotely solid yet. and drinking on an empty stomach is a no-no.

Hi:

Why not be the nice friend who offers to be the designated driver? I don't think wine was on our list of acceptable options until we were on full solids at about 4 weeks after surgery.

Good luck and have fun.

I love my band and my new flat tummy!

Hey ALuv...today is my first day of mushies I was planning on only having one and nursing it as well...maybe I should just wait a bit? I'm so confused lol...p.s I'm from LI too

Hi Sue...that's actually not a bad idea...I guess this is all just gonna take some getting used to
