Alcohol = Vegas And Superbowl



Recommended Posts

I went to Vegas this past weekend and did really great on my eating and exercising because we walked around so much. However, on Sunday night, Superbowl, I went a bit crazy and drank the bar under the table..Needless to say, that I am back on my workouts and Water regimen but I feel much guilt because I do enjoy my alcoholic beverages and I just wonder how much is too much?? I don't drink daily but I do have a couple a drinks a week if not every other week..I had surgery in September and have lost 30 pounds and Im feeling great but I don't want to sabotage my weight loss due to alcohol consumption of any kind....

Don't be disapointed if the scale goes up a little bit after a fun night of partying. When I go to Vegas I'm hooked on those daquari bars however I drink plenty of Water and watch what I eat. All the walking will offset it some but just be careful. Alcohol is just empty calories so I really try and be careful. I had 2 beers Sunday night and I'm up 2lbs today even though I was super good on what I ate Sunday and have been so far since. I'm hoping it's a little water weight and I will have gotten rid of it by Thursday when I go for a fill.

I would'nt be to hard on yourself about what you had on Sunday. I listened to a personal trainer for several NFL players on the radio and he said to treat the Super Bowl like a holiday (Christmas or Thanksgiving). Eat on that day but get rid of everything the day after. Think Holiday not Holiweek. As for general ongoing drinking personally I would cut it out. While I know plain alcohol does'nt have fat would you sit down and have 2 snickerbars a couple days a week after working out? Probably not. Alcohol has a lot of calories.

Don't be so hard on yourself, I was the same way on Monday, but I love the OP where it's just one day and then back to normal, that's how I treated it, and I'm back on my usual diet and excercise routine!

Vegas for Superbowl???? LUCKY!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
