Hi Mandi Jo,

To be honest, since it seems you have been following you pre-op diet well, it would probably be fine for you to have a couple drinks just for this one night...not to the point of being drunk, of course, but just to take the edge off. I don't want to be a bad influence or anything, but the again, my surgeon didn't press the alcohol issue very much. Regardless, you should do what you think is best for you. I wouldn't stress abt the party much tho, b/c you are abt to have a life-changing experience, so be excited!!

Congratulations on your weight loss so far!! I went through a period where I didn't lose either (my restriction seems to fluctuate) but I'm finally abt 25 pounds from my goal weight! My suggestion is to set a goal for the summer and stick with it. That's what I'm doing. I'm going to try to lose at least 20 pounds (hopefully 25!) this summer by working out and cutting greasy foods...at least during the week- I might treat myself a little on the weekends. Working out can get old quick, but if you have access to a pool, you could maybe mix it up a little by swimming instead of working out some days. Hope this helps some. Good luck!
