Does anyone have a glass of wine or a drink on a daily basis?

I've taken to a small glass at night that i enjoy after dinner. i drink about 2.5 oz. now that sounds small to you but I'm just picking it up again so I'm working on my lost palate. (It's homework...not indulgence) :P I was previously a two or three glass a day wine drinker (depending on if we had company) so this is a big change for me, but I enjoy the taste now and don't want to get toasted (I never did like that feeling). I want to see how I do up too a normal serving but I'm not there yet. I'm three weeks out from my second surgery and some ten weeks or so from my first (aug 23). I was very ill after surgery and aside from anesthesia I had little interest in anything else during the first month and a half so I can't tell you when a normal sleever feels comfy with a drink. Most docs say wait at least two months. Some torture their patients with a year! I feel it my duty to drink up some of the wine when DH opens it. I don't want the man to have to drink up the entire cellar himself :P (The sacrifices a wife makes...sheeesh)

I waited the 3 months my doc tells us to. Since then a "drink" happens when the urge strikes.

Wine gives me gastritis,even now at 7.5 months out.

So even though I really would love a glass of red wine just every now and then,it is a no no for me.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
