Alcohol

When can I start back drinking? I am not a big drinker in the first place but afraid since I drin****asionally and now my stomach is smaller I am afraid to do anything.  I am now two months out and I will be going to a party in a couple of weeks and just want enjoy without having to bring my Crystal Lights with me....LOL

 mmmmmmmm??? I had a drink 2 weeks ago which officially made me 2 months out lolol.. 
it hits you fast! but leaves fast as well.. You have to watch out for empty calories and carbs, that would be my only adice... 

GL!

I finally had some shots a week ago, 5 months out..I was inappropriate after 1...

start with 1! and go from there

Yep those empty calories are out to get all of us!!

I drink regularly. I'm also a slow loser because of it. Just keep that in mind. :)

YES! I need a drink :) (LOL) everyone is different of course but i had my first drink at around 2 months out or maybe a little before even though i was told to drink but of course i couldnt finish the whole drink and took small sips. It really got me buzzed really fast amd i was surprised of the effect but it didnt hurt me. Trial and error after surgery is something you have to judge on your own. I was told to have an occaisional glass of red wine if i wanted. If your still puzzled then i would ask your doctor or nut for thier advice. Good Luck

I had my first drink maybe two or three months out, and drink very occasionally.  I was always a major lightweight before surgery, and so haven't noticed any increase in alcohol's effects.  However, the alcohol does wear off more quickly than it used to.... which is actually kind of annoying because I'll be sober by the time everyone else even begins to feel it!

Thank you all for your comments.  I think I may just try some thing light at home and see how my tummie handles it.  I do not want any accidents in public...LOL I will just bring my Crystal Lights any way!
