I'm not even a wine drinker...and I'm craving it.... It's going to be a long six months!

Get a room you two

I love my wine and had a very small glass about 3 months post op. I love to have a glass of wine with dinner and do most nights. I have also had a couple of screwdrivers when out, the alcohol effects me no different from pre op to post op, the only thing that is different is the slight buzz does not last as long. Pre surgery I drank 6-7 diet pepsi's a day, after surgery I stopped cold turkey. About 3-4 wks post op I was putting those flavor packets of lipton diet teas and have been using them ever since. I don't think they have much caffene in them at all. i do have a few sips of diet soda every once in a while but it all tastes like chemicals to me.

Everything in moderation, is my new motto......

I used to LOVE coffee and I also love wine. I can't stand coffee or diet coke now. Coke taste like chemicals and I can't even describe the terrible taste of coffee.

My doc said I'm just not supposed to drink ever. I do terribly miss a glass if wine w dinner. I just wonder if I'm not gonna hate it too?

I can smell everything now. My sense of smell is crazy.

I agree, everything in moderation.

When I first had my op I could not stand the smell of coffee especially if the cup had not been moved when finished. Am able to drink it now but when finished I have to put the cup in the sink and put some water in it. I suspect wine will first taste bitter but again in moderation will be how you remembered it.

Does anyone know what the big deal is about caffeine? I can see in excess but a cup or two of coffee or tea a day? Why not?

At least initially caffeine is a diuretic and can easily dehydrate you. It is usually a task for new bypass patients to get all their liquids in so adding caffeine which will dehydrate you will just add problems. Also it can be an irritant to your new pouch. Try and wait as long as you can before adding coffee back in to your diet and check with your surgeon. Mine doesn't want us to drink it because of dehydration issues.

I did drink some on vacation in Europe and had no ill effects, I still drink sugarfree tea.... When I am tired, and have drank coffee on occasion.... No problems with anything so far, I was 3 mos post op, 4/14.....
