Hi Claudia- I sipped some red wine at Xmas- not even 1/4 cup, and I felt its effects. I didnt drink much. 2 weeks ago- I went out dancing and for the first time- felt like having a real drink - ordered a toasted almond- it has kahlua in it and creme de cacao.. I nursed it all night- maybe 2.5 hrs..I also made sure I ate something before I left home- so I wasn' t on an empty stomach - so over that timeframe- I was ok with the drink Also- since these are empty calories- keep in mind- you do have to burn them off..so be prepared to exercise that day or the following day Donna

I haven't had anything. I'm terrified of the sugar and the empty calories. My doc told me none until at least one year. I'm a fanantic rule follower! mary

I've drank wine and like everyone else, I felt it much quicker than I have in the past. The first time I tried it, I was surrounded by friends at my house. I didn't want to "experiment" out at a bar without knowing how my body would react. I haven't tried beer yet because I just imagine me getting very full fast. I'll probably test it out this summer. However, I'm smart enough to know not to drive a car. I wouldn't have done that before surgery, nor would I do that after.
