smt216 29 Posted December 24, 2012 I was also told a year but that my dr understansd around the holidays you may want to have ONE glass of wine or a beer. I'm so thirsty all the time; I think trying to drinking alcohol would be bad for me. I got some stuff to flavor my Water (lime and lemon) but I thinkc rystal like actaully has alcohol flavored drink mix now that is still zero cal, zero sugar. I might try some of those 1 Christina760 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IsB 209 Posted December 24, 2012 I was given the okay for alcohol in moderation after a month. Moderation is the key. If I do drink it should be no more than 1 a day. Honestly though it doesn't sound enjoyable. I'm waiting for a while before I try it. 1 Christina760 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakat 25 Posted December 24, 2012 Most docs, mine included would like you to stay off alcohol for at least 6 months. My NUT said it would be "OK" after 3 months. The things you have to be careful of is one the behavior changes...getting the "munchies" and remember that alcohol flushes not only the Water from your system but also the B12 so moderation is the key. My NUT reminded me that spirits (vodka, whiskey ect) do not have carbs its the stuff we mix with them..but stuff like beer, liqueors and stuff are loaded. Also alcohol is wasted calories..like a 4 oz glass of wine has 100 empty calories. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alamoloser 70 Posted December 24, 2012 Its different for everyone..personally I had a burning feeling as it went down. I found the more my drinks were watered down , the more I enjoyed them. Take it slow and decide for yourself, one or two days of enjoying the holidays and new sleeve in not a going to set you back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fallingwhisper 187 Posted December 24, 2012 The crystal light mock alcohol drinks are so good, you could easily pour it into whatever glass and blend in at a party or whatever. The margarita one even has a tequila-ish after taste 1 smt216 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
