Has anyone had wine?



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve in January. Some ups and downs but mostly its all good! Im learning alot about what to eat and what not and learning about my eating habits! My question is... I am trying to get back to a "normal" social life. I think thats been harder for me than anything. I LOVE wine but have not had any yet. Now that Im trying to go out with friends again - I was wondering how wine may or may not be tolerated. Anyone have any advice or suggestions for me?

Thank you!!

PS... down 53 pounds and loving it!!

Had wine for the first time this weekend since before surgery. I would say your only problem will be potentially heartburn, which I got and I was buzzed off of 2 glasses.

Had my first glass of wine this week...not bad and it did make me feel a little tipsy!

Have a Seabreeze also (on vacation)...loved that drink!

Red wine is the one to drink. it has a natural chemical in the grape skins of red that may increase metabolism. it also has only 1 gram of sugar, unlike white wine.

I was at a weight loss stall, then while on vacation had a glass of wine a day, and weight started to come off. I also used a small wine glass, poured only 2 ounces at a time. Made it seem like I wasn't a party pooper by only having one glass. LOL

Early out, Red Wine gave me awful heart burn.

Now, I can drink both, but it does kick my behind. I prefer Guinness.. Drink of the gods, that one :)

I have had wine. Not very often and I can feel one glass. I do not like red, even though it is a bit "healthier". I prefer a Reisling, not quite as sweet.

@@lcoll I have never stopped having the things I liked when appropriate during the journey. If I had done that I would have gone crazy!! I gave up beer and that is one of my true loves. I have not had a beer in over a year. Wine has helped me get over that though!! HA

I introduced red wine back in my life about three months after surgery. I have roughly a glass or two about once a month. I gave up beer which is my first love, I did have a glass this weekend and it came right back up but boy was it tasty.

I love wine. I love glasses, wine toppers, trying new ones, vinyards... and drinking it!!

I have been kind of afraid it would either make me sick or make me drunk too fast! I think im ready to give it a try though! I hope its all good because as you say... you cant give up everything you love in life! How boring would that be!?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
