Ok, I broke down. Drank 3 glasses of wine with a crying on my shoulder friend. Ok, bad choice, I got it, will I do it again, Lord I hope not.

Now, the alcohol did not hit me harder than pre sleeve, but I gained 6lbs in the following 2 days! I think the wine really screwed up my system, calorie wise I am still staying well under my allowed amount anywhere from 600 to 800. I imagine most of it is Water, and needing a good bowel movement or two.

Has anyone else experienced this? It was been 4 days and basically little change. Maybe 2 lbs lighter in morning, but back up at night. Should I go back to liquid diet for a few days, a week?

I know I will get the drinking booze comments, and as I hope others will learn from my mistake, bring them on, but if anyone has had a similar experience, that would be helpful. For those who are wondering, will a few drinks really make a difference, I am posting this, and taking the abuse for you so please learn from my mistake

Okay. Let me have it!

Meh. I was as far out as you when I had my first drink. So you went a little over board, no biggie. I honestly don't think what your experiencing is actual gain. It's probably just water retention. And don't weigh in the evening! I'm ALWAYS at least 2 pounds heavier in the evening than a morning weight. Drink lots of water, eat lots of protien, and it will come off. There's no way you gained 6 pounds from 3 glasses of wine.

I do have to say it's fascinating how your body reacted to the wine, though!

Honestly I do not think your gain has nothing to do with the alcohol. Every time I drink I lose 3 lbs.

You can have wine, probably not 3 glasses but a glass of wine isn't a big deal.

You already see the issue and probably won't repeat it.

I wouldn't change anything, just keep eating right and the weight will come off.

most likely fluid retention - even pre-op when I would have more than one drink, I'd retain fluid for a couple days. Just drink tons of water to flush it out. and definitely don't weigh at night! lol Seriously, I am routinely 2-3lbs heavier at the end of the day (sometimes as much as 5lbs!). We hold on to stuff during the day and at night while sleeping, our bodies reset. So I always compare morning numbers on the scale.

Maybe it's the wine? I kind of doubt it. Just a normal stall. I bet you're back under your low this week. I went to a beer festival and got crazier than intended and was up like two pounds before dropping 4 three days later.

You wouldn't gain 6 pounds drinking three bottles. Not enough calories! (And no, that was not a challenge.)

You are most likely retaining, close to your man period, or just need to take a big poo.

This will pass.

My nipples have been sore, and I cried during Shameless last night! Lol

There you go! Back away from the chocolate, too.

Go for a long walk. It will relieve stress, get your muscles loose and help any poo lodged in there get moving.
