Alcohol

I'm almost 2 weeks post op and barely getting in 20 grams :/

Any suggestions ?

I also suggest when released start weight training and cardio! I wish I started weight from the beginning.

When is from the beginning? I am starting the gym ASAP after.

I have a full time office job.

I am also my step-fathers home health aide which mainly consist of helping him into bed

(lifting him out of his wheelchair and into bed, he I approx 6 2' weight? But he is a quadrapelegic so it is all dead weight)

So just wondering how long I will have to be off work from that job ?

I decided one day I wanted to be a body builder and did it!

How did you start cardio? I don't want to start with walking, would rather go hard core but not sure if that's a good idea. Any thoughts? I am 3 weeks out and dr said I can do whatever cardio I am comfortable with.

Soooo speaking of alcohol, I have a few concerns.

I was told that I could have a 1/2 shot on my birthday (my 21st bday is aug 6) and that I would get super drunk from it.

I tried drinking prior to that (a few days ago) to make sure my body could handle it and that I wouldn't barf on all of my friends.

How many shots of 70 proof rum did it take for me to actually get drunk? 5 shots.

I took 1 at a time to see what would happen and spread that out 20 mins apart. Every shot (until the 5th) got me kinda sorta tipsy for 5 minutes then I was stone cold sober again.

Why didn't I get drunk off a 1/2 a shot like I was told? My alcohol tolerance has not changed AT ALL post op. Rather concerned.
