Does drinking wine "burn" going down?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone else experiences a burning sensation in their pouch when you drink wine.

Red wine is awful, white is usually ok.

I have no problems with food and have no reflux issues, so not sure what would be causing it.

Thanks

Lisa

I don't drink wine really, I've had some tastes since banding, didn't feel anything. Did it burn you pre-band?

Yes! I think its the alcohol itself that causing the burning sensation. I have felt it with other types of liquor, too. Sometimes, I feel nothing and sometimes it stops me cold. I don't drink much as a rule, but have experienced this. I also get this sometimes with salsa or other spicy foods and it never happened before the band. I can feel it hit the band because it burns and is irritable.

Wine goes down just fine for me. The only thing that burns is carbonated drinks which we are supposed to drink anyway. I stay away from them most of the time but sometimes I think I have to have a sip of Diet Coke or beer.

Hi Wheetsin,

No, it didn't burn pre-band. And I've only really noticed the sensation in the last couple of months.

Not all the time but very often it does.

Mostly when I try to drink wine and eat at the same time. I'm generally fine if I have a glass of wine and THEN dinner or dinner and THEN a glass of wine a bit later. Dinner and wine together = burning. Its rather uncomfortable. But I shouldnt eat and drink together anyway so I try to avoid that and I'm fine with it.

Yes, in a minor way, but I really seemed to have developed a problem with things with vinegar in them (wine is not far from that). Eating a salad with vinegrette dressing on it now burns on the way down. This has been since banding. I just kindof shy away from it now.

Interesting about the differing experiences. Next time I see my surgeon I'll ask him about it.

Yes, minorly (not enough to stop drinking!) and it is always with the red which is sad because I prefer red.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?
