I had my surgery 5 months ago And I haven't drank a month before it and my friends are going out tonight .... Am going too but I want to drink ... 3 glasses maybe of vodka and cranberry juice its my low carb day and I am afraid of gaining weight as I had a High carb day yesterday!

i will be drinking today! Will i gain weight ? will it effect my weight loss!

thanks

Don't know if you'll gain weight, but ALL alcohol turns into carbs...alcohol is transformed into sugar in our bodies.

Do you really need 3 glasses. How about having one glass and nursing it all night. That way you will have a drink in front of you and you wont be tipsy enough to eat too much.

I find 1 glass of wine is way too much for me now that I have my band. Since I am not eating as much as I used to the alcohol affects me faster.

I have drank twice since surgery (in moderation) and both times enjoyed flavored vodka with water and a splash of cranberry juice. I have not gained at all, in fact both weeks that I did have a night out, I lost more those weeks.

Do what you want... what we say is not going to change your mind. It is already made up.

It will affect you! Go for one drink..have a small glass of wine..cranberry juice is a bad choice..if you get drunk then make bad food choices like hitting up a diner after or a drive thru or raiding the fridge you WILL regret it...!

Am sticking to one glass of red wine guys! The vodka and cranberry is tempting but am too scared of gaining weight so nooo cocktail for me;) finished 3/4 of the glass and feel it already!... ah I love my band <3

Thanks guys !
