Ok, Im out 3 weeks and have this BIG all Girls Weekend planned and im wondering if a Sat. night glass of wine is out of the question? Just one with friends, what does everyone think???

I say go for it! My philosophy is that you have to LIVE your life and squeeze as much joy out of it as you can. So, if that means you have a glass of wine occasionally, you should do it. Remember, however, that alcohol can lead to an increase in appetite and MINDLESS eating. So, be careful.

I am 6 weeks out and had a glass of wine at my girlfriend's birthday at 3 weeks out. I took tiny sips all night long and really made it last! Plus, I carried the glass with me in one hand and a napkin in the other, so I had something in my hands all the time, which made me really think everytime I found myself reaching for chips and finger foods or the Desserts that folks brought to the party.

Good luck!

I don't think it's a good idea this early out, you're still healing. My doc recommends at least 3-6 months before alcohol. There can also be detrimental impact to your liver as it's working overtime due to rapid weight loss.

I wouldn't at 3 weeks. It takes 4-6 for your stomach to heal. Not a good idea!
