How long did you wait to drink



Recommended Posts

How long did anyone wait to have an alcoholic drink? My dr said to drink on special occasions but never now long I should wait.

I didn't drink till after 6 months. I never asked my doctor how long to wait, since I'm not a regular drinker in the first place. But I figured once I was on full foods again, it was safe. I thought I was a cheap drunk before, now 1 Mike's Hard Lemonade and I'm feeling good. :-)

I had some wine after 4 weeks. Nowadays, I enjoy an occasional cocktail made with vodka and Isopure Zero Carb. 20g of Protein in one drink. :)

That sounds good. How far out are you?

I'm just shy of six weeks out and sipped on a few small glasses of red wine over this past weekend. They didn't do much for me as far as getting "buzzed" or anything but I can certainly report no ill effects with the sleeve. Was nice to be able to enjoy it, though.

Mine made us sign a contract saying we would avoid alcohol for 1 full year.

At two months I had a glass of red wine I felt buzzed but nothing major and did not feel sick.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
