Hmmm, I was planning on a Margarita at some point. Bummer. What surgery did you have?

total bummer. I'm going to try my first drink this weekend. I'll be home, as we are hosting a cook out.

After 3 months I experimented with white wine on a cruise. It was more intoxicating than pre-surgery, so one glass was my limit. It’s now 7 months after surgery & I tried a margarita. My stomach didn’t have the ability to metabolize tequila anymore! I felt a physical reaction in the stomach & had diarrhea after! Not a good thing to try for the first time if you’re not close to a toilet!

It's possible it may not have been the tequila that didn't agree with you, but instead all the sugar in a margarita.

I hadn’t considered the sugar, but I have eaten some sweets with no problem. I used to drink tequila on the rocks but figured that would really be a bad idea and opted for the marg. I’ll have to do some experimenting at home to see if it happens again.

Orchids, I had the sleeve.
