TO DRINK OR NOT TO DRINK...

...Alcohol, that is. Was there a full moon this week that I didn't know about, because the customers where I work have been absolute ignoramuses??!! They are going to drive me to drink, if I let them...lol. So, moral of this post is...what specific types/kinds of alcoholic beverages have you been able to partake in as a post op? I know I have to be careful with mixers...what about wines? What works well for you and what doesn't? Any ideas, recipes, etc? And, no, I don't need to consult AA or my shrink...teehee. Maria W.

i've had wine (retsina and a cabernet/merlot blend, i haven't had any sweet wines) with no problem but i do get quite tipsy from just one glass and i've had mojitos (made with splenda not sugar- i LOVE these) and again, one gets me quite far gone. i don't do it often and have had no trouble but try to remember that it's high calories and can be hard on our little pouchies.

I like my wine also but 1/2 glass does me in! I also like a shot of Amaretto! Just remember that you will get a buzz alot faster!

Maria I like cranberry and vodka but as they said be careful one glass will get you tipsey. Claudia
