Wow, and here I thought my wine glass was the recommended 5 oz...



Recommended Posts

And all this time, I've been counting 5 oz as my nightly red wine intake on myfitnesspal. Thats the serving size. Just actually measured it. 12 oz's! Wow. Went from 112 cals to 252 cals. Never even thought I could drink 12 oz of wine at once.

Guess I'm gunna give up my wine at least till goal (about 13 lbs). And no, I'm not even getting buzzed (for those who think they'll get toasted on 2 oz of wine)

Advice: Measure at least ur favorite foods/drinks just to get a more accurate estimate on calorie content...

How long did you wait until you had wine?

About 3 months till I had it occasionally. Waited till about 6 mths to have it regularly. in fact, I rarely drank wine before being sleeved. I was a 1 Corona Lite a nite fan for a cpl yrs. While I miss my beer, red wine is good too.

I don't remember my dr having any requirements for alcohol. Probly in there, I probly just ignored it!

Think I'm gunna give it up while I work on those last 13 lbs. Yes, my ticker says 11 to goal, but I gained 2 lbs this past cpl wks. Bummer.

      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.
