Glass Of Wine



Recommended Posts

Is it okay to have a glass of wine at an event at eight weeks out?

I am also putting a call into my surgeon, because I didn't see anything about this topic in thier documentation.

Mine allowed it. I was 8 weeks when I had my first taste. Since it's at an event though, sip slowly and see how it effects you.

There are many topics about this if you type in the search box above. Several will probably respond to this thread, but it has been covered in several different ways in other threads as well.

I had my first wine about then and did just fine. I think it is not advised because it is "empty calories" but I calculate in with my calories allowed for the day.

Exactly. but whoever called them "empty" didn't enjoy wine. its my fifth food group :P

I am 5 1/2 weeks out and I am debating having a glass this weekend while we are out of town. I may not, but if I do I will let you know how my one glass goes.

Thank you all for your input. I am thinking it is safe to slowly sip a glass of wine! :)

Or drink like a fish and dance on the table...or puke in the flowers. Both risk you not being invited to an event again, or being invited because you're nice entertainment....

LOL there was another wine question in another thread and I want to tell you I totally refrained from commenting even though she spelled it "whine" which she linked to the word liquor. I totally refrained from a whine and lick her comment....I swear, I'm a model of decorum....

Mine does not allow alcohol for 1 year. I am fine with that as wine gives me a headache, the only beer i like is Corona, and only like a few mixed drinks.< /p>

I have a friend that had lap band. He is 4 months out and has a drink each day. He started that on vacation and gained weight.

Pretty sure i will wait the year

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
