Guest guest Posted August 31, 2001 Report Share Posted August 31, 2001 Hi , I'm only 7 3/4 weeks out, but my surgeon told me to avoid alcohol for the first year, due to the extra stress it puts on the liver. This isn't an issue for me, because I'm not really a drinker, not even an occasional drinker anymore!! It seems like every time in the past when I had an urge for a drink, it was when I was pregnant, and couldn't drink anyway!! But back to the point -- it seems that a lot of the people on this list follow that " same old rule " which is EVERYTHING in moderation. Hope that helps some.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2001 Report Share Posted August 31, 2001 > Got a questions for the post ops. Do you have an occasional glass of wine or cocktail? If so, how far out from surgery did you try it? I have a very occasional 1/2 of a beer, a small glass of wine or a 1/2 of a small frozen margarita. I was never a big drinker pre-op. I usually never finish a whole drink either. I had my first drink about 2 months post-op and have had maybe a drink or two in the past month or so. Jane J. 230/170 (-60 lbs.)
