    Drink a 1/2 pint Guiness - wait an hour, have some Corned Beef and Cabbage (1/2 cup), wait an hour, drink a Guiness 1/2 pint. 30 minutes to drink the beer, 60 minutes to wait. 30 minutes to eat, 60 minutes to wait, 30 minutes to drink the beer. Avoid the Potato and Soda Bread.

    3.5 hour party: 440 calories, 17 grams of protein. Enjoy the celebration, no need to skip tne social aspect of St Patrick's Day.

    Making a ruben cassarole w/ corn beef, saurkraut, baby swiss and 1000 island (no rye on my side of it)
    No beer for me either, foods with bubbles are banned. So I will make my shamrock shake with a frozen vanilla premier protien and Davinci pepermint patty syrup

    I 4 1/2 months post-op. My doc told me no alcohol for 6 months. His PA said that physically I could have some but frowned upon it because of the empty cals. Being from Celtic heritage on both sides (Irish and Welsh) and with a middle name of Patrick, this St. Patty's Day may be difficult not embibing with one pint.

    Believe me, it take sooo long to drink a beer that there will be no bubbles. My last beer was Super Bowl. 1 light beer took 3 hours to drink, only 98 cals

    Exactly Mango! Guiness is the most lightly carbonated beer I found and the Draught Bottle is only 125 Calories. Have been enjoying some on occasion since 3 month mark. Dr. said eat and drink what you can tolerate in small amount. Make sure of protein and fluids. NUT is more strict but I always default to my Dr. Working so far!!!
