Thank you everyone for your helpful and kind responses. I truly appreciate you taking the time to assist me. Sometimes I find that I have to keep reminding myself that it is just food and it shouldn't have such a control over my health, but I had a nutritional meeting yesterday and learned some new information and it was odd...I felt so apprehensive after it that I looked for additional resources to try and help clarify. Don't get me wrong, I know this needs to happen for my health and I look forward to that. I am by no means a major drinker either, but I would still love to be able to enjoy a cold beer in the hot summer...it's almost a social worry more than a food one I guess. It's good to know I should hopefully still be able to do "normal" things and it's great that the "in moderation" is key....thanks again, I feel much better....

I am going through the process towards having the gastric sleeve surgery and I have some questions and concerns. I understand that this process is supposed to be a life change and that's exactly what I want it to be, but I want to know how much life will change. I've read some things that tell me that I likely won't ever be able to have ice cream, which I love in moderation. I also enjoy drinking beer and wine and I wonder if I would be able to enjoy either of those anymore since the beer is full of carbs and the sugar in the wine....I know it's stupid to have hesitation about my surgery due to these things, but I'd really like to know why my future holds in the "do's and dont's" department.
