Had alchohol since surgery?
Hi all! I was just wondering who has had alchohol since their RNY and what kind of affect it had on you. I am hosting a little graduation party for a friend and haven't tried anything but would like to have a glass of wine with dinner (doc said it was fine but will hit much quicker than usual and I don't have a problem with sugar so I don't think that it will make me dump). So what's your story?
Thanks!

Yes, I had a glass of wine the other night. I sipped it slowly, but in less than 5 min. I was bobbing and swaying and flushed. My husband said " Wow, Now you're REALLY a cheap date! It only takes me one glass to get you drunk and in the mood!" I hit him. I was NOT in the mood. I was nauseated and had a headache for a half hour afterward. To his credit, he quickly backpedaled and started taking care of me. Thank God this was at home! My advice is to try it at home first and NOT alone.
BTW, a little food helped kill the nausea. Don't do empy stomach. I know,I know, no drinking then eating,......well forget that rule if you drink alcohol. I never finished the glass.
I drank last weekend! 1/2 of a wine cooler or malt liqour gets me buzzed pretty strongly so I don't drink past that point knowing the sugar will send me to dumping if I go overboard and I would hate to dump and be hung over at the same time! LOL! I did a sip of a mixed drink (straight liqours and lime juice) and it put me on my butt! So I stay away from the hard stuff... don't really need it, know what I mean. So now I partake of wine during religious gatherings but I stick to a couple of sips and that is it.
HTH!
Brightest Blessings for a Wonderful Day~

No I haven't - I am afraid too
I had dinner last night with 2 friends who had weight loss surgery. One is 2 1/2 years out and the other will be a year out in a few weeks. They both drank no problem and tried to get me to take a sip but I was too chicken!
I will try it, maybe for my birthday next month if I am HOME and am not going anywhere...maybe like someone suggested some vodka and crystal light!
Hey Jenny
About hmm...3-4wks ago (I think), I went to a club with my friends and had 4-5 sips of Bud Light. I got giddy, slightly buzzed and it lasted oh, say for about a little over an hour or so. Then, it stopped. I had gas, bloating, but nothing major. I do believe, if I drank ALL the Bud Light, I would have been in a worse state of buzz LOL
Anyhoo enjoy your event! Sip Sip Sip lololol

I drank a few weeks ago, like someone else had suggested crystal lite and vodka. This was very yummy. It doesn't take much to get you toasted, but it is fun! I used to be able to drink like a fish so now all of my friends can't believe their eyes when I am flushed and "drunk" in no time. Take it slow. That is my only suggestion.
