I'm off blood thinners since July 26th, on very little meds ie occasional paracetamol but twice recently I had one glass of red wine (fairly big glass) and had a hangover. Is this due to the blood still being thin or just so many weeks pre and post op without it. I also still bruise easily. It's happy day when that is all I have to complain about. If I had smiley faces I'd have loads on.

    rolleyes   Ooooo attractac (wth is your real name???) - me too !!  I think, in my case, it is the medication ... 

    I used to love a good martini, or just vodka on the rocks - I am a hard liqour fan but started to drink wine - and now my body doesn't like that either ...​right now it is not worth this hang-over feeling ... 

    so water it is, or tea or coffee ... so  sad ... I know right, if this our worst problem, we are good to go ... but still -

      Real name Geraldine but someone had used my nickname on the forum so vouched for second name. The c at the end was accidental as I very often as you may have noticed hit a c for a space. Going to put the wine on hold for a while.

    could be that you still have blood thinners in your blood, i personally would wait a little bit longer

      Think you could be right Marilyn. It's only 2 weeks past thinners so blood maynotbe back to normal.

    I found the same when I had a wine or two. I think it's because I hadn't had one in a while.I'm also finding that I can't drink as much as I could before (sound like a right alcoholic now!!) anyway.....just keep trying, all part of my necessary rehabilitation 👍

      Hanging upside down like you would give me a hangover. Might try an occasional beer. Used to take 3 wines to cause hangover.

    I switched to cider ages ago as wine didn't mix with pain meds for me.

    We had friends around for dinner last night and I had a few bottles of elderflower cider. No after effects at all as it doesnt have those nasty additives. I am a cider convert!

    The first night I got home I had a very large Spanish brandy & soda (or 2).  Didn't seem to do any harm at all (or, if it did, I was too happy to notice...).

    Had a glass wine the day I got home as well and have been having one regularly since. Mind you though, regularly for me constitutes one, maaaybe two glasses a week.

    When I've really overdone it (like the weekend with the garden and planting trees) though, I get myself a single shot of scotch. And then I sleep like a baby.. Unfortunately for my wife a noisy one, but yay ear plugs to that 😁
