I’m about 14 months post opp and last night I had alcohol for the first time since surgery.... half of a small glass of Pinot Grigio. Honestly I didn’t feel anything or maybe I took to long to drink it or maybe I should’ve finished [emoji81][emoji81]

Now that I’m not as scared to drink, what kind of wine do you guys drink or recommend??

Lol, I usually drink the kind in front of me!

Prior to surgery I liked a sauvignon blanc, but now I've switched to red wine, specifically pinot noir - which apparently has the highest level of antioxidants which may help body processes and heart health. There are a wide range of dubious studies saying that red wine can help with diabetes, obesity, cholesterol but I would certainly not use that as an excuse to increase your consumption. That said, there are some health benefits to the odd glass of wine.

In my opinion, wine is OK as an occasional treat, pick out something delicious that you will enjoy, make sure you have lovely company with you and savour every sip. Life is short, having some wine is one of life's great pleasures.

Thank you babe I will try it, ironically enough my mom actually got me a bottle of pinot grigio cause she did not know which red I would like. I will deff try the noir!

Moscato. It's so good I have to limit myself to 1 glass because I can seriously drink the whole bottle!
