Can I drink champagne?

[BansterNYC 0]

I'd like to drink champagne occasionally -- maybe a few glasses every 2 months or so. My nutritionist has mixed feelings on it -- not a hard answer. Wondering what the rest of you were advised?

I don't drink sodas or any other carbonated beverages. Didn't really drink them before surgery either.

Any thoughts?

I am pre band and I can barely drink that now without feeling like I am going to pop.

It's alot of liquid calories so you might want to rethink if it's really worth it or not... But I would just get a tiny bit in a glass and sip it very slowly to see how you react.

Yes, you can have a glass of wine, but again it is empty calories. I like to have a drink from time to time so if I choose to I have one or two on the weekend. If I do drink a glass of wine I try to make it replace my snack so I don't add on to many calories. I use to like a glass of wine with my dinner but I had to work that out.

I did read on one of these threads that one bandster has her glass of wine daily in place of her Snacks and she is still losing. Remember we can anything that we can tolerate just do it in moderation.
