Hi, I didn't wait a year, but have to say didn't even consider a drink like that untill at least 6 months later, and truthfully wasnt even interested in it!!!!!!!

Wouldn't even attempt it now..... give it a good while

oh dear!! im only 7 weeks post op and im must admit ive had a couple of glasses of the vino, all was fine and i most definately would not over do it!! info i have says it is okay to drink alcohol, but to be careful and remember it has empty calories. i think any doctor would recommend not to drink alcohol but with care and moderation i think it is okay (just my opinion, not fact) xxx

Thats the problem I have like a vodka but cant find anything to go in it that is not fizzy or acidic...not every where I go sells cranberry juice and last friday had it with pineapple juice but I prefer a bigger drink if you know what I mean otherwise its gone in no time..xx

 

[lesleyweb]

will have to see what they sell in the bars in Bruge lol or just take some minitures and go a shop get something and drink it in the room lol. I use to like the dilute sugar free vimto in vodka until I put them horrid vitamin drops in the vimto Now the smell makes me wanna puck lol

Just to let you all know i do have a dry sense of humour and am not alcohol mad as you may think by my postings of when and how much can i drink! i saw the consultant today for a checkup and asked and he said once i was on more solid food (about 4 weeks time) it is fine.

Goodbye all -

luv Plonkiexxx

I was told at my six week check up that I could have diet soda (very americanised) which to me is diet/low cal/low sugar fizzy drinks and that is was also ok to have a 'glass' of wine. I really do think he meant only a glass as well. I have tried both and seemed fine. With the wine, I did get that nice warm glow very quickly though and couldnt drink it fast at all. Went to the pub at the weekend and my husband had three pints of lager to my one large white wine. Never ever thought that would happen in my life time!!!!!
