I want a glass of wine!!

And? Nothing says you can't drink wine when you are banded. Just remember, calories.

Count the calories and move on! But they do add up fast, so moderation is the key.

had a small glass a couple weeks ago......it was delish

I was wondering the same thing. I haven't drank since surgery, but I really want to enjoy a glass of wine or a margarita on vacation.

I had a glass of wine and it was just what I wanted. I was satisfied with a small glass and I moved on.

There's no carbonation, so the only concern is empty calories. I say drink up and enjoy!

Red wine works for me, some of the whites are too crisp and irritate my stomach, and margaritas are a little rough for my band as well. So take it very slow to see how you do. Oh, beware that the alcohol hits you faster because there's not much in your stomach and you're not eating while drinking!!

I have wine all the time, plus cocktails and beer.....it's all in the calories.....if you are still dieting / losing then you have to be aware...

Lucky to say I'm past that and try to live a "new normal life"....

As per my surgeon and nutritionist wine is fine.

If you are only enjoying a glass or two every now and again I wouldn't worry to much about the calories. If you are exercising 3 plus times a week you will burn those off. If I go out for girls night I always keep in mind of my intake throughout the day. I always ask though if something is carbonated. I had a bad experience with that. My stomach hurt all night after drinking a cocktail that had something carbonated in it. Enjoy that glass of wine!!!

Wine is something that I am not willing to part with. My weight loss is actually better with a glass of dry wine.

Enjoying a glass as I type!!
