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.

Sent from my mobile productivity killer.

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.

      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.
