Drinking wine

[Glitterbug 16]

How long should you wait to drink some wine?

Not until you're done with beer, just kidding. You should check with your doctor but I have had an occasional glass of wine since I was three months out.

What did your doc and/or NUT say? I ask because many people were advised different things by their WLS medical professional.

I was told when I was on solid foods, 30+ days. White wine burns.

my doctor said after 30 days. I was on vacation on day 19 post op and I had a few drinks over a 3 day period. I felt fine. But, I can no longer drink as I did in the past. I was able to drink two glasses of wine but I drank very slowly and it took me about 2 hours to finish...and I felt like I drank much more.

Your stomach may not be ready. I tried at 6 weeks and it didn't work but I had a shot. .. mind you very slowly. .. at 3 months and it was Ok. My doctor told me just wheneve I feel ready but keep in mind they are empty calories so id wait until youve gotten a good weight loss going. You dont want to feed ur body things that it doesn't need yet.

I am almost a year out and I still can't drink. My B-day was August the 8th, I had 2 sips of some wine and felt like I had drank a 5th of vodka:) I threw up and my stomach still burns as of today. No more for me!!!!!
