I went to my sis 40th wedding anniversary party about 4 months post op, had maybe 2 oz red wine and thought I was gonna die. Tummy on fire! Now, nearly 3 years out I drink socially no problem. Just go easy. Really easy.

Best advice is that remember you don't eat as much so you get inebriated a lot quicker -

Learned this the hard way!

I can pretty much drink anything non-carbonated and can drink beer after the fizz calms down.

I am almost 2 years post op though --

Take it slow and the lighter in color the better bc colors bother me but wine is fine and doesn't

It is really trial and error

I started drinking a glass of wine on the weekends when I was almost 3 months post op. I took it slow and it hit me quicker, but my tummy was fine and I did not get sick. Just take it slow and easy and see what you can tolerate. Everybody is different.
