Guest guest Posted August 31, 2001 Report Share Posted August 31, 2001 I have an occasional drink or a glass of wine. Doesn't seem to bother me at all. It is only about once or twice a month when I go out with the girls in the office and then I stop at two drinks. I can definately feel it much faster than before. I am almost 6 months post op. I had my first drink probably at 2 or 3 months post op. > > @B... wrote: Got a questions for the post ops. Do you have an occasional glass of > wine or cocktail?

However, I do crave an occasional glass of wine or martini, and will be glad when the year is up. My liver biopsy showed no disease, and, while the catabolism we go through is pretty harsh on the liver, if my liver enzymes are normal when I have blood check-ups I'll be comfortable drinking alcohol occasionally again in a year. Keep in mind that alcohol is also a high-calorie, totally absorbed item, as well. - SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
