MDM0927 29 Posted November 29, 2012 I've seen people post about having wine a few months out but I don't drink wine. I use to have 1 Long Island and be really buzzed so I won't drink that but when can I have a mixed drink? I'm 2 1/2 months out.

iggychic 1,405 Posted November 29, 2012 I am three months out from my first surgery and just hitting two months out from the second. I drink wine quite often, though not as much as I used to, but I can say that it does not turn me into a stark raving drunk But harder booze...I tried baileys a week or so ago....that did not sit well. I couldn't drink more than a few sips (probably too much sugar). I had the same reaction to rum though earlier this week (just experimenting). I don't know if it's the liquor content or the sugars...but even though I'm allowed to have it, it does not sit well. Anyhoo, both my docs said two months. Nuts said four months and never (I don't listen to the never girl) and the pa's said 3 months and never (but she was a major bible thumper with very strict views on even wine! so ummm I don't listen to her either). I often wonder where my son gets his selective listening skills.... 1 MDM0927 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puppyphat 397 Posted November 29, 2012 I am 3 months out and could get drunk off the sacramental wine at mass. I can't tolerate it at the moment and I don't like the feeling I get from drinking it. I go straight from sober to passed out, with none of the fun inbeteeen stuff. I was never much of a drinker, so I don't miss it. Trial and error I think.

MDM0927 29 Posted November 29, 2012 I like the selective listening, thank you both for the reply. Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tbrendon 36 Posted November 29, 2012 Clear burning alcohol like vodka and tequila are the best for our new tummies. Other alcohol has too much sugar in it. Although I still will try wine. But it's a good thing I like vodka and tequila just no pop for mixes 1 lil lee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted November 29, 2012 Just be aware that it will hit you a lot harder and faster now than when you had a much bigger stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bella86 82 Posted December 1, 2012 I'm loving my vodka lime sodas and pre op I was a big drinker. Went out last wknd and had quite a few drinks (naughty I know) - prob about 5 drinks all night - I had a fantastic night and although I did feel it faster than I used to (prob the 20kg weight loss + small stomach and so little food) I was comfortable no issues. Wine not sitting so well and if they make my vodka with too much soda I let it sit for a few minutes stirring some bubbles out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's very good with diet cranberry, which has only 3 carbs.....be careful, very addictive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
