Wow, and here I thought my wine glass was the recommended 5 oz...



Recommended Posts

And all this time, I've been counting 5 oz as my nightly red wine intake on myfitnesspal. Thats the serving size. Just actually measured it. 12 oz's! Wow. Went from 112 cals to 252 cals. Never even thought I could drink 12 oz of wine at once.

Guess I'm gunna give up my wine at least till goal (about 13 lbs). And no, I'm not even getting buzzed (for those who think they'll get toasted on 2 oz of wine)

Advice: Measure at least ur favorite foods/drinks just to get a more accurate estimate on calorie content...

How long did you wait until you had wine?

About 3 months till I had it occasionally. Waited till about 6 mths to have it regularly. in fact, I rarely drank wine before being sleeved. I was a 1 Corona Lite a nite fan for a cpl yrs. While I miss my beer, red wine is good too.

I don't remember my dr having any requirements for alcohol. Probly in there, I probly just ignored it!

Think I'm gunna give it up while I work on those last 13 lbs. Yes, my ticker says 11 to goal, but I gained 2 lbs this past cpl wks. Bummer.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
