Alcohol intake

[Jersrose43 837]

I drank 2 sips of white wine a month after. It didn't taste the same.

At three months out I may sit on 3 ounces of white wine once a week for about 4 hours - that was Friday night by the way -

What I have found is the following

1- my favorite Pinot Grigio tastes mostly like unripened grape juice with an acidy kick

2- red wine while ok in the past not my preference - won't even make it down my throat past one sip

3- moscato - can you say sweet? Syrupy and nasty sweet. Like you added a pound of sugar when it called for a few ounces.

My taste buds have changed. In some cases am just figuring it out. But with wine most certainly

I did have a peach lambic (beer) and finished the whole thing. I allowed it to go a little flat first. Not much carbonation to begin with but tasted better than wines.

I can't tolerate cosmos- my fav drink pre surg

Can't do martinis - medicinal tasting.

Well there you go

jersrose43 I'm with you. Tried Chardoney tasted like crap, tasted red tasted worse! Have two open bottles that I suppose I will just have to pour out! Anything very sweet is awful... However a whole glass of V8 with one shot of vodka (think bloody mary) is devine. And it takes a loooonnnngggg time to drink it.

Well... It wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Came home from Vegas 3.5lbs heavier. But, I honestly think some of that is travel bloat. My eyes were even puffy this morning. I've had about 4 liters of Water and only doing shakes and P3 Protein packs (just one). I had a Quest bar right before the gym so I'd burn those carbs up fast. Here's hoping for a decent drop tomorrow!

Wow, great Info!

Well you've already got an angry, wounded stomach...I don't know if I'd risk it so soon. I've HEARD horror stories about bariatric patients that go from being a eater to a drinker. With that said, my 6 mths is next week and I'm going to try a little wine tomorrow.

My brother in law traded one vice for another after bypass and he gained 60lbs back. I'll pass. I'm.a cheap date now I cant imagine when I'm 100lbs lighter

6 weeks post op i got a really bad flu/cold. The Nyquil that I took gave me the room spins. I thought that was pretty amusing. About 3 1/2 months post op I took a half shot of Jager to Celebrate my recent engagement and it was fine. But I would recommend having alcohol so soon after surgery. Give your body a chance to heal.

I am 4 weeks out and I took Tylenol nighttime and it knocked me out. LOL

[auntjanny 289]

I think the Tylenol PMs are what I need. Did you crush or swallow the pill?

[angelicHG7 118]

I took the liquid for a cold.

I haven't had any and maybe will never again. I will be glad to have coffee again someday though.

So I've heard you can drink again but very small amounts.
