Drinking

[Sampaterson]

Hi. I'm wondering how everyone gets on drinking alcohol post op. I'm a very social drinker and would hate to be TT for the rest of my life. Appreciate I won't be able to drink as much as I used to - which is a good thing - and will also make me a cheap date - hubby will save a small fortune. If you have experiences can u let me know. Thanx

I have started to have the very occasional social glass of wine. This is empty calories (no nutritional value) so you need to be aware. Also I can only have a small glass now as get drunk very quickly. Your pouch will absorb it quicker. I struggled with 'shall I shan't ' but I don't have any other vices & stick to my diet very rigorously. My team don't condone alcohol but accept there are times when we may indulge but in moderation. Yes I am a cheap date now & find
I don't want the alcohol any more. I used to easily have a bottle of wine over a night out. Just don't fancy it anymore.

Most pubs do NAS squash nowadays, I went out last night had a fantastic time and only drank a pint of squash the whole evening, but then I wasn't a really big drinker anyway. If you have any other ideas would love to hear them though.
