What kind of Wine do you guys drink?

[goldenbarbie 329]

I’m about 14 months post opp and last night I had alcohol for the first time since surgery.... half of a small glass of Pinot Grigio. Honestly I didn’t feel anything or maybe I took to long to drink it or maybe I should’ve finished

Now that I’m not as scared to drink, what kind of wine do you guys drink or recommend??

I always go for a full-bodied red. (Usually an American cabernet...)

Spicy Zinfandel or Malbec, yum.

It sounds like you were smart about it. Alcohol effects different people in different ways, just like there is a minority of people that don't get dumping syndrome as a result of RNY.

Moscato ... white, pink or ginger/lemon infused.

I don't drink wine, Moscato or champagne. I just drink Kombucha. It's a fermented tea that has naturally occurring alcohol in it but it's better for you lol. I drink that stuff and don't dump at all. I'm almost 10 months post op.

There is no evidence that Kombucha is "healthy", but there is mounting evidence that it may be unhealthy. And the alcohol is no more naturally occurring than the alcohol in wine. Both occur because of fermentation through the introduction of bacteria to a sugar base/broth.

I am not a wine drinker, so I can't recommend anything. But I do want to say good on you for waiting on drinking. Wish more people would be conservative in this regard.

Yes exactly! Honestly I was under the impression I wouldn’t be able to drink again but I had a doctors visit recently and he said I can have wine but try not to drink it too often as I’m doing well with my progress. I was worried I wouldnt be able to drive also but I was fine and What’s RNY??

Spicy Zinfandel or Malbec, yum.

Thank you will check it out and try!

Thank you!! Yes I’m not sure how people drink so early, then again I also had a lot of problems at my early stages lol

TALK TO ME!!! I loved kombucha before surgery. I even made my own. I couldn’t drink alcohol because of Migraines. So I finished each day with 1/2 - 1 bottle of kombucha and was so relaxed from it. But it has fizz and I was told not to ever for life drink anything bubbly again. So how do you manage to drink kombucha? I am scared to try but I really miss it.
