My team told me 12 months! I know people do drink before then and all teams say different.....I was never much of a drinker so it doesnt really bother me. I just think its empty calories and that helps me to stay on the straight and narrow lol XX

Go with the advice of your team, if they haven't advised then best check with them x

12 months for me too, I was a goody-2-shoes and stuck to it too.

Love my Malibu and Orange occasionally now though.

Wine, now that really affects me. No idea why. I can't drink a lot. Very much like yourself!

Wine turns me into a loony nowadays, so I stick to the odd lager now and thenAm such a lightweight now though

 

[hopelesscase]

My team never said anything about avoiding alcohol, but from reading on here & other places that many providers say 12 months, others say forever......however, really not reality for many people. I think I had my first tipple a few weeks post-op....just a small glass of wine at home in case it hit me hard. I know one of the biggest worries is how alcohol may affect you post-op....personally it doesn't affect me any differently to before the op, but for others, they are now a total lightweight! But quite rightly mentioned, alcohol is empty calories.....I have the odd tipple, maybe a glass or two once a week, but more typically every couple/three weeks.....everything in moderation I say. I generally abstain as basically I don't eat enough calories daily to warrant getting those calories from alcohol.

i waited 3 monthes before i had a drink, then it was only a sip.

It doesn't bother me to be honest and when i do have something it's a glass of lambrusco lol....i love it!!!

Like angie I had a drink or two only a few weeks out from my op. I went on holiday eight weeks after surgery and had one or two drinks every day but I struggled to drink them!! Certainly no fizzy stuff I stuck to a vodka and orange with lots of ice or a glass of wine.

I only have the occasional drink now and still do enjoy it but not in the quantities I used to manage!!!
