I am 10 1/2 weeks out of surgery. My weight was not moving. No matter what I ate or how I was exercising. I was living on approx. 1000 calories/day. A couple of weeks ago my husband and I were on vacation for 2 1/2 weeks. I cooked all my food and measured it etc. Same amount of exercise as at home. Then I cheated...I indulged in cocktail hour with our friends each day. I had a small glass of red wine (4 oz) each day and weight has started to fall off. Huh?

Is there something in that red wine that has boosted my metabolism or changed the way the fat is burning off?

Has anyone else experienced this?

Enjoy! And congratulations......way to go!

One of the "lapband Pioneer surgeons", you'll see mentioned often on here, Dr. Paul O'Brien suggest that "a glass of wine with meals which we have shown is good for your health and good for your weight loss when taken in a modest amount."

So, IMO, enjoy!
