male only Drinking After Surgery

[jimbrowski 3]

This thought came after reading "drank to much". I understand beer is a no no, carbonation, calories etc....

What about liquor? What am I going to be able to drink socially after surgery?

I drink wine without any problem. You just have to watch those oh so empty calories!!

vodka with ice and Water filled to top - add crystal light or equivalent - enjoy!

You can drink but just remember that not only is it full of empty calories but it will also hit you harder and faster. I have the occasional glass of wine but more than one and I feel drunk!

Yep, I drink frequently! Wine is great, hard liquors....as mentioned though they are empty calories so factor that in. Also, you may feel the effects sooner since you're eating a lot less. Cheers!!! (as I pour another glass of wine! )

I make a margarita with lemonade crystal light and a shot of tequila with ice it does the trick and just sip on it.

I drink beer often. I have no problems with it but I count my calories. Having the surgery has not changed the way how fast alcohol affects me. I think it's different for everyone just make sure you account for your calories and take it slow when you have your first drink until you know how it will affect you. And also don't drink until you are fully healed (6-8 wks after surgery).
