My doc approved me for alcohol at my 2 month check up. He advised a very small amount, but I haven't tried it yet cause many ppl have told me to wait a year. That and I really haven't had an occasion where I wanted to drink. When I do...it'll probably be a bit of wine since I'm not much of a beer or liquor drinker

When I made up my mind that I wanted to have the gastric sleeve surgery, that was it for me. My insurance required the six months of diet visits, so I decided that I was ready to embrace change, so I jumped on the low-carb train and never looked back. I lost 99 pounds during that six months, and walked into the surgery as prepared as I could be because I had used that waiting time to change my relationship with food.
My surgery was September 28, and I have lost almost 60 more pounds since. Using that early time wisely has been a huge part of my success pre- and post-op.
Good luck!

Here are some pics of me at my heaviest and then at goal:
That last one is the day I ran my first half marathon!
