Good morning everyone

Just wondering how soon after surgery are you allow to consume wine.

I was sleeved in Nov & was given approval to drink wine for New Year Eve. Drank a half glass & stopped as I got tipsy really fast. Otherwise no problem.

Some surgeons and NUT's say 6 weeks. Some say 6 months and some say never. I would ask your Dr. or NUT. I was allowed after 6 weeks

So many different opinions on consumption of things after surgery like wine, coffee and many other things, it goes from you can have in the hospital to never again.

Once you are completely healed and are able to take in your right amount of liquids and Protein, most anything should be ok in moderation. Of course, that is my opinion, it may be very different than your Dr. or NUT.

Good luck to you!

I've had white wine at 6 weeks post op and did fine. I also tried red but it didn't taste good anymore.

I enjoy a glass of cold white wine a few times a week, it´s heavenly! I do stick to the low alcohol kind otherwise I get tipsy, and I also just have one glass. Before surgery I could easely drink 2 or 3 glasses.

I am 6 months out and still don't drink alcohol. I first wanted to wait till my stomach was really healed. I still take carafate every day and will for a couple more weeks. Alcohol can cause damage/ulcers to the new stomach. The sleeve is very fragile. Just wait till you are all done with most of your post-op meds. In my case, for 6 months. Looking forward to that first glass of wine.

My nutritionalist says alcohol, carbonated or surgary beverages, and caffeinated beverages are a forever no no....
