So my NUT said it would be OK to try a glass of wine, and I did that a couple of weeks ago when we went to a fancy restaurant with some friends. I had one glass before dinner and felt nothing out of the ordinary. Yay, I can drink wine again, I thought. But I went to dinner with my husband tonight and had a glass of wine on a virtually empty stomach. OMG, I am spinning and feeling like I had several glasses! So beware, those of you who like a glass of wine now and again - you will be a very cheap date if you do it on an empty stomach! ????

Good warning.

About 4months post op I had t

the tiniest glass of wine at my sister's 40th wedding anniversary...oh it burned!

Later, after getting to goal, I allowed alcohol as a social treat. I made a mistake one night, opened a nice red to have and essentially blacked out on 2 glasses. Yeah , I forgot to eat.

I am 4 years post op and do drink socially but the key is food. Empty baby tummy plus booze is a bad idea!!

It's worse for guys. To see a big dude get goofy over 1 drink makes your friends dog you out. Cheap drunk is all I say
