Holiday drinking?? Can I?

[Kikiphiasmom 44]

Hello everyone. I haven't been on here for a bit. I have a quick question. So tonight being New Years eve and all, I was wondering If I can have a drink or 2. I am almost 3 months out. I tried calling my surgeon and the help nurse but Kaiser seems to suck during the holidays. I can't get an answer. Please HELP! Don't want to end up in the emergency room tonight hahahahaa:001_tongue:

Happy New Year everyone :scared0:

I was cleared for alcohol consumption at my 3.5 month follow up. I've only had a couple of white (Riesling) wine with zero ill effects. I didn't get drunk quickly, I didn't catch a buzz, I didn't get nauseated, but I did eat in between the 2 glasses. I haven't attempted hard alcohol, and I never enjoyed beer.

Do you still have any paperwork from your post-op diet when they indicate alcohol consumption is "okay"?

Hi Tiffy .. No dont have the old paperwork, but I am almost positive that it didnt say anything about alcohol. I only drink mixed drinks anyway, you know the girly kind. And even before the surgery I was a lightweight. Just dont want to miss out since I am having a New Years party. My BF just had his sleeve done on 12/15 .. probably not a good idea for him to drink then ha? LOL ...

LOL, I loved mojitos before surgery well those and rum/cokes. I haven't tried anything stronger just because I'm a wuss now.

You need to come around more ! ! ! I don't want to give medical advice, but if you are eating regular food , and think you may be able to handle it, my surgeon's words to me were "take it slow, don't overdo it, alcohol is wasted/empty calories".

I will be drinking a martini or two tonight. I started drinking my occasional cosmo or dirty martini around 3 months post-op (I think a little before). Start slow, don't want to over due it.

Well I only had 2 drinks and I was tipsy. I didnt over do it and everything turned out fine. Thanks for your response guys :-D

Happy New Year :crying:
