alcoholic drinks what is your preference post op



Recommended Posts

Hello I was just looking for some drink ideas for when you go out? I don't really like wine and we aren't suppose to drink carbonation like beer/soda... what have you found that works for you? Thanks!

I had a really nice skinny tea drink at red robin last week, really low in calories and tasted good!

I'm not touching any alcohol for a few more months, but I figure once I finally do, Guinness (or any other stout) would probably be a good choice. It's not carbonated like most beers.

I have had one beer since surgery and a couple glasses of prosecco. Yes they are both carbonated a bit but I can't drink much. I've also had a couple small glasses of wine. It just doesn't taste the same to me anymore.

I tried alcohol a couple times and it makes me feel terrible. It goes right to my head. Goes away and then I just feel yucky. I miss being able to drink. I've tried low sugar wine, vodka with crystal light and Water, White Russians and vodka and low sugar cranberry juice.

It was suggested to me that I not drink at all.

Prosecco. The one I like is less carbonated than some and has only 50 cals/glass.

Also it's not too sweet.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
