mine says best recommendation is never, but after 6 months it's ok. I love a glass of wine now and then, and collect wine from Old Mission Peninsula wineries.

I know a lot of people push this, but I do not plan to have anything before 6 months because it is straight up carbs and I want to make hay while the sun shines and maximize my weight loss in the beginning.

1 year, but must admit I am 7 months out, and have had a total of about 4 glasses of wine. Now 1 of my Iron test is high, so they told me to stay away from any alcohol right now, and I am.

I had my first drink at 4 months out around the holidays. A Bloody Mary.

I'm 18 months out now, and drink very occasionally. I do enjoy a nice glass or two of red every once in a while ;)

Since I live near Northern Virginia wine country this is a subject close to my heart. I am having surgery March 10th and I hope to be able to enjoy a sip or two this fall. My wife and I have a favorite vineyard called Bluemont Vineyard, great view, great wine!

      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?

      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.
