alcohol drinking

ok. i have a question. everything i heard prior to surgery said that i would get very drunk very fast after surgery so i would have to be very careful. i have found this to be totally not the case. i can drink and drink and drink and i might get a quick buzz at first but then i end up "sober" again a couple drinks later. what's up with that? anyone else have this going on? and for the record i don't drink constantly. i am talking i have probably drank 4 times since surgery and each time the same thing. just wondering. brandy

BRANY ME TOO I CAN EASILY DRINK A BLOODY MARY AND NOT FEEL TIPPSY.O.K. MAYBE THE SECOND ONE! I'VE ONLY DRANK 2 TIMES SENSE SURGERY AND I DON'T GET REALLY THAT BAD.

I have tried to stay away from sugary or carbonated alcoholic drinks. It seems about the same to me as before surgery. I found that I like the flavored vodca's with splashes of diet sprite. The vodka dilutes the bubbles. And I tried a Kamikazi (my new fav drink) last week and 3 or 4 make me Very Happy..... Sue 273/261/174/150

what is a kamikazi?

A Kamikazi is Vodka, Triple Sec, Roses Lime Juice and a splash of sour mix. It is a sorta limey / tart drink, it ROCKS.... Sue

Hi ladies, Well I'm so glad to be back and finally hear about someone trying to drink. I'm going to give it a shot over the holidays. I actually can't wait to have a drink Hugs, Cheri

I've had a couple of apple martinis since surgery. About half way through one, I get a little buzz going. It does go away quicker than before, but I think it's that we process alcohol quicker that before. I had a drink and a half this past weekend at my husbands holiday party and fell asleep in the car on the way home. A little too loopy I guess. Cheers, Lynn

Brandy ~ I find that my buzz comes quick and leaves just as fast. I'm not a huge drinker but have had drinks from as early on as 5 weeks out (I was celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary in Hawaii with a Blue Hawaii).
