Watch out life, here I come!!

I want a glass of wine. :thumbup:

But if I open the bottle I will have to finish it at some time(more empty calories) or toss it.

Ok, so I know that any alcohol is really just empty calories. But, how long should I wait after surgery to drink? My nutritionist recommended straight vodka on ice - funny, huh? I have some friends' birthdays coming up and would love to attend happy hour and have a drink!

I resisted temptation and didn't open a bottle.

As to your question I had a glass of wine two days after banding and have had quite a few cocktails since. It's just a matter of figuring the calories into your daily plan.

Straight booze is the least calories. When you add the mixers or sweet liqueurs you add on the cals.

Nothing wrong with a good vodka.

Since we're on the topic of vodka - Tito's Handmade Vodka is awesome. I tried it a few days before my liquid diet and it was smooth enough to drink over ice with a little lemon or lime.
