    Wow,

    Have been curious about that...How long since you had your surgery?

    How long did you wait before your first drink?

    I waited about 4.5 weeks. The doctor/dietitian said that he was surprised at 4 weeks I hadn't experimented with it yet but I reminded him that his initial advice was 6 weeks, to which he said "yeah, I figured you would have experimented with it anyways". Now three months out, I drink 2-3 units a week, which isn't far off where I was before surgery (by Scottish standards, I am never been a "drinker").

    Hahaha Kitsonk! I am Scottish and love a bevvy! I have had a glass of wine since my surgery 5 weeks ago and it took me about 2 hours to drink it. I enjoyed it though. Glad I had taken a Zantac as I suspect if I hadn't then I may have had a bit if reflux from it!

    Love

    I have the occasional glass of wine, but cannot have it on an empty stomach! It seems to burn a little going down for some reason (even the tiniest sip...even at almost 5 months out), so I must have it after dinner, not before.

    Oh yeah, Lisa, I forgot to mention I drink things very very slowly now too. I have a hard time finishing a glass of wine. I have tried a couple of bottled beers, but that takes me forever too. I was never much of a hard liquor bloke, but I may give it a go!
