jamesapricejr 8 Posted March 11, 2013 My doctor said one month. I went 3 weeks and had a glass of wine with my friends. No problems but it is empty calories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newme48 104 Posted March 12, 2013 I was told a year by my nut. I've been secretly having a little wine though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted March 12, 2013 My doctor said 1 month out. I had 3 glasses of wine 2 months out and was fine Is that all at once? With the sleeve, 3 will probably cause pretty severe intoxication. Heck, one glass of wine makes us drunk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puppyphat 397 Posted March 12, 2013 I had 1 glass of champagne at 4 months and it made me so sick, and it tasted like vinegar. Haven't touched anything since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angelal1213 8 Posted March 12, 2013 Is it true u get really drunk fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
courtoomp 107 Posted March 12, 2013 I had a vodka cranberry last weekend and didn't get sick or even tipsy. It seems like some people get drunk faster and some ppl it isn't any different than before surgery. For me it's the latter...so unfortunately I'm not as cheap of a date as I wanted!

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted March 12, 2013 What about a pint of Guinness? Or two? Anyone know impact? Have not tried any beer post sleeve yet and maybe Guinness is too bubbly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danyelleb 386 Posted March 12, 2013 I experimented at about 7 mos preop. I used to enjoy beer- not so much now. It just doesn't taste good. I stick to patron gold. I get buzzed pretty quick, but I rebound quickly. I tried a margarita while out with the girls and it was too much. I felt sick. So, I stick to my old reliable- TEQUILA!

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted March 12, 2013 I used to enjoy apple martinis on business trips. Those were really good. I am not much of a drinker since being sleeved, but it is nice to only need one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
