PamInWA 21 Posted November 14, 2015 So my NUT said it would be OK to try a glass of wine, and I did that a couple of weeks ago when we went to a fancy restaurant with some friends. I had one glass before dinner and felt nothing out of the ordinary. Yay, I can drink wine again, I thought. But I went to dinner with my husband tonight and had a glass of wine on a virtually empty stomach. OMG, I am spinning and feeling like I had several glasses! So beware, those of you who like a glass of wine now and again - you will be a very cheap date if you do it on an empty stomach! ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted November 20, 2015 Good warning. About 4months post op I had t the tiniest glass of wine at my sister's 40th wedding anniversary...oh it burned! Later, after getting to goal, I allowed alcohol as a social treat. I made a mistake one night, opened a nice red to have and essentially blacked out on 2 glasses. Yeah , I forgot to eat. I am 4 years post op and do drink socially but the key is food. Empty baby tummy plus booze is a bad idea!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark1733 224 Posted November 20, 2015 It's worse for guys. To see a big dude get goofy over 1 drink makes your friends dog you out. Cheap drunk is all I say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
