I have wine every night, I have since day one. Just remember that they are empty calories, log them in your calories for the day & enjoy!

I probably waited a couple of months after surgery, but you say you have been cleared. I also have a glass or two, a couple of times a week. I work rotating shiftwork and quite often will have a nice 6am, "bedtime" drink. I never noticed any difference in how alcohol affected me pre or post banding, but as many people say, it does affect them differently. Go slow until you see how it affects you. Its still the same amount of alcohol as it was pre banding. As you can see from below, calories can add up...and no protein in wine, so have some cheese with it. Calories A typical 3.5-oz. glass of Cabernet Sauvignon wine contains a total of 88 calories, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Alcohol makes up 77 calories within the serving and 11 calories come from carbohydrates. No appreciable amounts of proteins or fats are within the wine. Read more: http://www.livestrong.com/article/312718-calories-in-cabernet-sauvignon-wine/#ixzz2Onla0wd9

I don't drink, so I have no idea about the wine. But my SIL drinks wine all the time and has lots of ice and waters it down. Maybe try that. My doctor doesn't want me to eat and drink within 30 minutes of each other, so how do you dine and drink at the same time unless your doctor lets you. Well, anyway, have a wonderful date night-enjoy a great movie.

Way to go!

enjoy sunshine let your hub look at his doll baby...no worrying allowed

I too went to Disney only in Florida and it was so nice to fit on every single ride, such a huge nonscale victory for me.... Isn't it an amazing feeling???

yayyyyyy for fitting! Sounds like a ton of fun. Glad you had a good time

Once I can eat normally again I'm totally trying this! Thanks for sharing!

Ya I been cleared. But was just wondering. And as far as date night we will see how that goes. I will try if he dont make me mad. lol

You can do it my friend. I am struggling with the same issues. I think I have volume creep... not watching serving sizes closely enough. But enough about me. You are doing great!
