Wine?

Okay- I had a glass of wine yesterday-- a whole 4 oz. Should I feel guilty? Is this a ? I was a big wine fanatic before my surgery. Up until yesterday, I have had a sip or two of other people's wine, but that was it. Thoughts? Andrea

Screw guilt! I don't think you should feel guilty at all. I've had a total of 3 glasses of (white) wine since surgery and I don't feel guilty a bit!

Did you have any cheese with that wine? Do you feel OK? Did you get really dizzy from the wine? Just fooling. Hey as long as you feel good about it I agree with Michele screw guilt to them all I say I have not taken a sip of wine or alcohol yet but you know those holidays are right around the corner. It's just a matter of time :ohno: for me. I am a recovering diabetic so I worry about the sugar (if there such a thing as a recovering diabetic?) Enjoy hugs - Pam

I am SO jealous! I think I will try it soon. What kind of white wine? The sugar in it didn't make you sick? Do tell!

Go for the drier wines. The sweeter ones have more sugar. I had a glass of Viogner. Not sick at all. I have had sips of reds and whites up until now. I was very good and DID not eat with the wine. I felt a little affected, but not drunk. And it was GOOOOOOOOD!

I have probably sipped a couple ounces since surgury and I notice I get a little light headed quicker, so thats me a cheap drunk LOL I to loved wine before surg, we went to a town w/ a bunch of wineries for our anniversary (hence why I now have a 1 yr old son LOL) But I dont think it hurts I was goint to talk to my surgeon monday about it. Hope everyone has a good day Cheryl

CHEERS I had a couple sips of MERLOT at 4 weeks out. Could not get it down. Felt REAL GOOD after an ounce. Have not tried since... I think it is good for the blood. Will maybe try a little tonight! Pattiann

Hmm, DH & I are going out tonight. I think I will try some wine! I forgot that red wine was good for you. Thanks for the reminder Pattiann! Have a good night! Lisa

I dont abotu you guys, but I have a glass of fine a couple of days a week. I drink White Zifendal & I have no problems w/ it. THey dont add sugar to it, so natural sugars are fine to consume ( so says my surgeon). Just to drink any fruit juice/sweeter wine in moderation because the do have more calories & your body will burn that sugar off before it burns off the calories.
