Are you okay drinking wine after four weeks from surgery with an ileostomy?

I say yes...if it makes you relax a little, why not? Not a wine drinker myself, but I craved a shandy when I got out of the hospital (shandy is beer with lemonade) and I'm not a beer drinker. Maybe try it in small doses first and see how you go. Tara

When I first got out of the hospital with my urostomy, my visiting stoma nurse told me, "Don't forget your 5-a-day healthy fruit and vegetables." She said, however, one of those 5 could be taken in cider form (apple beer), so I always make sure I've got a couple of cans in the fridge. I like 6-7% proof... Well, the nurse did say it was OK, lol!

Hi Vulcan.
Sounds like good advice. I might try that one, but with beer. Cheers! Been reading the jokes. Very funny. Keep it up.

I got a colostomy about a month ago. I had a major infection while in the hospital, and now the stoma doesn't work. I've been drinking Jim Beam and Coke. Can't hurt.

Hi all, went out this Saturday and got hammered. Ended up having three pints and three shots, but really enjoyed it. Also had my first real good night's sleep. I'm going out next Saturday on a hen night, can't wait. I'm not gonna let this bag stop me from having fun.

Hi Mazz, so nice to see you got out and had a good night... Hammered hey? Well done girl. Wish I could join you... No fun drinking on your own. Did you get up to anything funny?....
Having this bag on you won't stop you from doing anything fun, that part is in the head.. And from what I see..... you have that beat already... Keep it up Mazz and keep us informed...
