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.

Thank you so much! I am going to a party sat so I think maybe ill try a small glass. If it also helps me lose? wow.. maybe an added plus for me!!

Love me some wine. I had my first glass about 5 weeks out and have never looked back. I drink wine weekly.

Mr Indecision... you are my hero! lol wine and weight loss!!!

@@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!?

• Wine is a love of mine and I miss it! so i think im ready to give it a try! Like you are all saying... its not right to give up everything in life we love!!

now lets see... Pino or cabernet???? lol

Love Pino's but have been drinking Malbec's lately! Give one of those a try! Very good stuff.

melbecs are nice too! I was actually getting into blends right before my surgery... maybe ill go back to trying those!

See now I feel like I have something to look forward too!
