wine

BooHoo! I had wine this weekend, up 2 pounds..... anyone else love wine?

LOL...I love wine, but it's doesn't really like me anymore. I'm not so kind to it as I used to be. If I were wine, I would be offended by me and hate me as well...since I neglect it so much. I spent the last 3 weekends at softball tournaments, freezing my rear end off...so I treated myself to a nice Lois Jadot white wine this Saturday, poured myself a nice 6 oz glass. Drank about 3 oz over period of an hour of it and went "Eck", I'm done...toss it out. Wine really hates my ass now.

Yep! Still drink it too, with few repercussions. Sometimes reds give me reflux but whites are almost always okay. As for it making me gain, I tried my first drink a few months in while I was still losing, but was also still tracking religiously. When I chose to indulge, I worked it onto my day and lost fine. I also had developed a regular exercise routine burning 400-500 calories 5x per week which helps my metabolism and gives me leeway for the occasional "indiscretion". Now 2 years out, I don't track anymore, but if I gain a few pounds, alcohol and other "treats" are the first to go until it comes off.

It's probably just bloating. I gain a little every time I drink, and it goes away in a day or so. Alcohol affects our bodies weird because of the sugars.

Had mimosa's for brunch on Halloween. I did fine. I was surprised the champagne carbonation had no effect on me. i indulge here in there. I feel I'm now one of the normal thin people in the world. if I have a gain I know I have to work it off at the gym to maintain. ( I'm in the maintenance phase)

It seems like those of you who are saying you do fine are at least a year out (2014 surgery). I am three months out and I can't even imagine the thought of alcohol, so I'm not inclined to try. It could knock me out even at my highest weight and larger stomach. Given this thread, I am definitely waiting until the 1st anniversary (incidentally, the day after my birthday).

I used to love wine but I was afraid of drinking after the operation, after the doctor told me it will affect my differently and will get me drunk faster. I used to drink freely and not getting drunk but I was never a big drinker. I had a glass of wine last week and was Ok. No re-flux butI regretted after looking at the carbs. I will drink scotch next time. Less calories, no carbs. Don't drink much anyways. Took 8 months to have my first. It will probably take another 8 to try scotch.
