What I'd give...

I'm 5 months post op as of the 13th. I've wanted a glass of wine for a month now. Anyone had wine since surgery?

Starting somewhere between 5-6 months, I would have 1-2 glasses of wine a week, only if

I had met my Protein and Water goals for that day and had extra calories to "spend" on wine.

My team was OK with it.

I'm 13 months out and enjoying a Kentucky Mule right now (bourbon, fresh lime juice and sugar free ginger beer). People have very strong feelings about this, so be prepared for a ton of responses.

I'm 6 months out and don't see a problem with an occasional glass of wine. Daily isn't a good idea for weight loss or liver health (the liver works overtime processing our fat).

My team said to wait until 6 months post op. I've had a couple glasses of wine since then and a cocktail or two at special events. I don't drink on a regular basis but have been to a couple weddings so I did have a glass of wine or cocktail in those instances.

6 months post op was my Doc's decree as well.
