Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 8,311 | Pre Dx I drank a beer every night before dinner. Had to have my BEER!. Post Tx it was months and months and months before I even thought of beer but my RO said it was OK to have a beer so around the end of my first year post Tx I finally tried one and it actually tasted the same so most nights I will have MY BEER. I have discovered that 3 is my limit at parties and whatnot. Anything more that that and I'm drunk! I also continue to exercise regularly. Currently I do 5 spin classes at the Y complimented by various resistance machines and ride my bike 20 to 40 miles a week. My blood work is A+. My only problem is I can't stop that aging thing!
Do check with your docs as everyone's situation can dictate different responses.
