Wine

[granddiva 6]

I'm going to a birthday party this evening. Wondering if I can drink some wine? Don't want to cause any problems. Talk to me family!!!!

My Dr offered me wine when he took me out for a meal (chicken broth) at 2 days post op, when I was in Mexico!

So I think you can, of course in moderation, just have a little.

Shoudn't be any issue, you didn't mention how far along you are but anything after a few weeks should be OK. Just be careful of the calories as wine and other alcohol is pretty high in cals.

About a year ago I started drinking 3 oz of red wine each night before sleep. It helps me to sleep and it supposidly has healh benefits for cancer prevention and cholesterol reduction. Something besides general diet is working in that respect as my last months check revealed my cholesterol was 133, pretty rediculously low! I didn't realize how much I HATE the taste of alcohol though, it really turns me off, so no danger of over induging here!

i'm almost 6 mos post op and to this day I can take a few sips and feel a buzz- totally not worth it to me...

No issue. I drink wine since 3 month post partum. Just keep in mind your tolerance will be completely different. The other day I had a glass at 8pm. Hadn't eaten since 4 and wow was I buzzing from that one glass..lol. So make sure you eat before or you will feel it even more and now you are a cheaper date. Before I could easily drink a whole bottle of night at night, now 2 maybe 3 glasses is my limit.
