Red Wine - and it kicks my ass.

I make my own version of a pina colada as well. Malibu or Parrot Bay with Club Soda and a squirt of pinapple juice -it's like a spritzer - still soda and sugar in it though, but I can do it.

And half a Guinness every so often, so filling I have it for dinner

Baby, that was yesterday...

Dr says can't have alcohol for 2 years. Haven't tried anything yet. Watch out for transfer addictions.

I just had my first drink post-op on the cruise, and it was a beer (light). I debated for hours on what I was going to "try". Wine, champagne and all of the mixed drinks that I like are high in sugar, so they were out. Actually, I should have just gotten a bloody mary, since I love tomato juice, but didn't think of it at the moment. I thought the carbonation in beer would bother me, since I still can't drink soda. But, it was OK. I nursed it for about an hour, and felt buzzed after about 5 sips. But, like Tia said, the drunk goes away quickly.

Hugs!
Kathy

Pinot Grigio is what I tolerate the best. I usually mix them with water.

I am almost 2 years out and I don't do any carbonation, Tia Sloan told me none for life. The fruity drinks will make me dump so I stick to white wine or Bloody Mary's and Screwdriver's. It will depend on your being a dumper or not what you can tolerate sugar wise.
