have a question?

we are going out for dinner with some other couples and i am almost 4 weeks out and was wondering about having a couples sips of wine after dinner, what do y'all think, will it hurt me?

A couple of sips probably won't cause any problem. Just remember that your liver is working overtime right now and the alcohol will be processed differently. Anything more than a couple of sips is likely to hit you a lot harder than it did pre-op. Also, wine does have concentrated sugars and empty calories. If you must have the wine, I would limit myself to a couple of sips and give the rest of the glass to someone else. Better yet, order a "taste serving". Most restaurants serving wine will bring this to you. It is the equivalent of a good swallow or two and usually runs a dollar or so depending on the wine. That will make it easier to limit your intake. Remember, baby steps. You have just begun the healing and learning process. Enjoy your evening out. Susan
