Hydun2 0 Posted November 7, 2012 Has anyone noticed your band allowing you to eat more when you've had a drink or two? I don't drink much but i have noticed on the past 2 occasions i've had a beer or a glass of wine I semm to be able to eat more. I've got pretty good restriction, but after a glass of Chianti at dinner the other night I was able to eat my entire meal which never happens anymore!

FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted November 7, 2012 Be careful with beer...beer has carbonation and most doctors advise no carbonation for the health of our bands 1 2justme reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2justme 15 Posted November 7, 2012 I don't know that it was easier for me to ear more after drinking but I did find myself on a few occasions over eating after having too much to drink and Yes be careful with beer!.... as my band got tighter it got to where I can't drink beer anymore because it just foams up and comes back out so I stick to wine now....... sure wish there was a bud light lime flavored wine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just be aware of that so you don't overeat. I enjoy my wine before dinner, I do log it and I'm very aware of my bands tightness or lack of after. Good luck.

CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted November 7, 2012 Be sure to drink before you eat, and wait 30 minutes after. Also, wine in moderation is no problem. It may even relax you and your band. Just don't burn up too many calories and save room for Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
