Super Bowl

[angel04 4]

I am 2 and a half months out and today I decided to have my first glass of wine since my surgery. Well, I had a glass and a half and didn't get drunk like most people said I would. I didn't even get a buzz. Has that happened to any of you? As for food today, I stayed under 800 calories. ???? For Breakfast I had a scrambled egg with some cheese. Once the game started I had a buffalo wing, chips and guacamole, a bite of a BBQ rib and half a mozzarella stick.

Good job Sticking to your plan with all the temptations around!

I'm one of those who became a total lightweight post op, but I've heard from some for whom alcohol didn't have the same effect.

I also had my first alcoholic beverage(alright, beverages) today at a Super Bowl party. I started with the one, and felt absolutely nothing. It was like drinking regular Water. I had a second beverage(changed it up a bit) and nothing. Before surgery I had an extremely high tolerance, to the point I could out drink almost everyone at the bar, including the guys, but doc said that had a lot to do with my type-1 diabetes and the way alcohol metabolizes in my body. I didn't get the slightest buzz and I was doing doubles in low-ball glasses for each drink. I was so proud of myself for staying on plan food wise, even with all of the delicious options being enjoyed by the rest of the party. But back to the alcohol, yes, I was perfectly fine afterwards and felt like I could drink many more with no issues.

PS: I had a DD just in case because I wasn't sure how my body was going to react...I'm not chancing anything!
