can you still drink alcohol ?

I do, the thing is it's empty calories..

I dont drink Beer or any other carbonated drinks.

And I dont drink every day lol

I have a glass of wine every now and then.

someone posted about this a few days ago - I cant tolerate carbonation so I dont do beer, but bring on the wine, margaritas, comsos, etc. I drink once a week, 2-3 drinks in one night, I know it's empty calories but I would rather drink than have a dessert and I also just don't care - I'm a generally good bandster but I won't give up the alcohol and if that means slower weight loss than so be it.

I choose not to drink. It appears most MDs give the OK to have alcohol but mine is one of the few who say no.

Thank just wanted to know. I have an appt next week, to see if I can get approved for the surgery.

Be careful when you first start to drink again, my Doc said no alcohol for the first month...by then I had been on liquids and mushes for a month, one glass of wine and I was giggling and talking TOO loud!
