When Can We Drink?

I can't keep food down 2 endoscopes later and I just lost my job. I want a glass of wine bad. I'm at 5 weeks. Anyone?

Sorry you're having troubles. If you want a glass of wine, try it. Sip slowly and make sure you drink it at home.

It probably wouldn't hurt you but watch the sugar content so you don't dump. How about a Miller 64 (64-calorie beer)?

I'm so sorry you lost your job. Wishing you all the best. I had my first cup of Piña colada with rum. It was delicious last month. Enjoy it sip slowly. That's what I did.

I'm so sorry you lost your job. I read online & someone posted here that red wine is good/okay.

All the best!

I was tild no drinking for six months to a year bcuz it dehydrates you. I suppose you could double your Water intake. Sorry for your loss.

I had wine about 3 months post op, I had a glass at home just to gauge how I will handle alochol. I did not even the a buzz !!! I was told by my doctors office in one of the classes that when you drink you can get extremely buzzed after RNY so be very careful. In my case the wine is the same as it was pre-op. I have not tried any other alcohol yet... maybe I will try a vodka and see if that has any different affects on me. But wine i was OK with.

The worst part of WLS the 227 bottles of wine we have in our wine cellar. Before you think I'm a drunk we bought the house with the wine cellar already in it. And my wife's cousin works for a liqueur distrubitur. And is always giving us wine to try.

I like the hard stuff like Knob Creek single malt my wife likes Red Cat wine

Tempted to try but I was born a chicken
