Wine

 When is it ok to have your first cup of wine?

That's going to be up to your surgeon and your guidelines.  I was cleared for everything at 6 weeks. However, alcohol doesn't sit very well in my tummy so I don't partake anymore. Not a big loss in my life though.

 thanks...

 I think my surgeon's guidelines were actually 12 weeks, when everything was cleared (including popcorn and coke).  However, I know most surgeons recommend waiting until you're in maintenance because it's empty calories.  I, on the other hand, had my first alcoholic beverage at about 5 weeks out.  Wouldn't recommend it, but I survived :)

 What did you have? the reason Im asking cause wine is basically aged grapes and was wondering if wine is easy to consume..

That's very wise advice...I can truly sympathize, tho, because I really enjoy a glass of wine every other night or so...but I will be going by the book....whatever they tell me to do. 

By the way, YOU LOOK AMAZING!  Congrats on the Century Club membership....can't wait to join u!

5 weeks for me, my Doc said once I was on solids I could partake....

My doc says 6 weeks, but limit quantity and be careful how fast it hits you.

My surgeon said none for the first year.  I had a couple of sips at 3 months out of a very fine red at a dinner I attended.  It was a wine I would NEVER buy for myself because of the price, and I had to try it when offered a tasting.  It was divine, but it burned the whole in my sleeve. 

That should read, it burned the whole way... not the whole... My sleeve is fine, lol.
