I am 4 months post of RNY gastric bypass. I have healed well, and I am getting all of my protein in. I am considering going on an all inclusive vacation with some girlfriends next month to Punta Cana in the Domincan Republic. I have had alcoholic beverages since surgery, but I sip. My concern is over the food and drinks. Ideally, I do plan on drinking but I am concerned everything will be sugary. I get dumping with high sugar. I'm sure I can be choosy with the foods.

Has anyone else done all inclusive post RNY, and if so what do I need to know? What issues did you encounter? What did you drink? Thanks!

Your safest drinks will be wine, or alcohol with a sf mixer, like vodka & soda w/lime twist or whiskey & water.

^^Agreed. Also, I always, always mix my own drink. I'll order a shot of vodka and a glass of whatever I'm mixing it with. I usually start out with a half of a shot. There's nothing worse than getting drunk when you are just trying to "feel good" or getting drunk in an environment that isn't appropriate like a nice dinner.

I have nothing of value to add, just wanted to say how jealous I am and HAVE FUN!

Hope you had a Wonderful Vacation and can look forward to more someday!
