When was it and what was it?

i may have some red wine tomorrow.

When were you banded?

june 6th

I had a half glass of red wine 3.5 months after the band. Buzzed so stopped drinking.

I was banded January 6th and just had my first alcoholic drink 3 weeks ago. It was a margarita.

I had my first alcoholic drink after I lost the first 100 lbs.... 6 months after banding. It was vodka and water w a splash of cranberry...heavy on the water.

My Dr. said no alcohol for 6mths after banding , and then just wine.

No more Rum & D.Coke

Mine said nothing other than no beer and no alcohol the first week.... Was debating only 1/2 glass tomorrow and tracking it. Not sure yet

I waited probably 6 months and had a bit of wine. I don't drink much anymore though. It hits me too hard after the weight loss. But I will have a drink if I'm out. I just avoid beer or fizzy things.

Its pretty early on in my opinion but....it's just my opinion.

when we go out for dinner I drink a glass of wine, about twice a week.

I agree that it is very early on. And I need to be mindful of eating and drinking. But I am trying to put into perspective the old me would have drank and eaten myself into oblivion this week with my husband having a heart attack and my dad being in the hospital and being as they are both going to be here tomorrow I am debating the 1/2 glass. Guess I will see how I feel about it tomorrow. But nice to know I made a chocolate chocolate chip cake from scratch today ( my favorite), 4 dozen cookies, 3lbs of baked ziti, multiple dips and put candy out in all the holiday dishes and didn't so much as have 1 m&m.... Pretty sweet victory!!

I have to agree with Floridays, 10 days post-op is a little too soon.

Congratulations on not touching all the goodies you're making!

You're at a critical time right now, stomach is still healing from surgery. They'll be plenty of Christmas to celebrate in the future with portion control. Take care of you now.

Banded October 18, I just had my first margarita this past Friday. I had only about 8 sips... And remember when you do drink you will get tipsy alot faster!!!! I felt tipsy by my 6th sip!!
