Easy Andrew..... slow that roll just a bit.
It's true that alcohol is empty calories, but I think the amount and frequency is the determining factor. If one indulges in a glass or two of wine every other week, not sure that's really going to make a difference. If someone is drinking say.....every other day or a few times a week, there's probably going to be problem with extra cals. You're lumping everyone together it seems. And by the way, my Dr AND Nut said that an occasional drink after a few months will not hurt. I can't speak for others on here, but the message you and I received may certainly differ from other messages from other bariatric teams. So if someone is complying with what they were told, it's hard to throw them under the bus.....even if it differs from what you've been told.
With that said.....for those who may be alcoholics or recovering, it's probably best to not partake again.

My surgery is tomorrow! I been worried about the wrongs that could happen.. but then I am excited.. less than 24 hours

I'm doing well. Almost 3 weeks post op. Had my 2 week appointment on Thursday and my doc was impressed how much I'd lost since my final preop appointment (I was 402. I'm now 357). I'm finally eating soft and flaky foods. Today I had about 1 oz of boneless skinless airfried chicken thigh and .5 oz of refried beans. It was delicious.

haha all good! I dont think it is on amazon, but you can order from the website! I am sure any broth would work, but this one has 20grams of protein ... not 8 like most!

Same here! just know that since there are no additives it may seem bland, that is where the bouillon comes in. Protein broth thats good for you tummy... yup .

Yes!! you lucky duck Im in Canada so I guess its not on our amazon! but thats the guy!

Literally the brand is Naked Bone Broth "Protein Powder Supplement - Naked Bone Broth – Naked Nutrition" they are great. Clean product and transparent company! And I mix it with the veggie Better than bouillon. Its like a warm hug hahah....
looks like I cant attach the link. but if you search whats in quotes, you will find it : )

Hey all, eeppp first post. I am still waiting approval on my surgery, but really loving the info you guys are sharing on here.
I have been on the Naked Bone broth train for a while now and I love it. Mixed with a little veggie better than bouillon (cause this gal loves savory stuff) and its just soooo good. 20 grams of protein per serving as well.. : )
All the best!

Congrats! That is so exciting. I meet with my surgeon sometime in the next month (been completing courses and prep for the past year and a half .. ugh I just want it done already haha). I am excited to follow your progress!
