I am in my fifth year since the weight loss surgery. As of today; 25lbs gained and very depressed about it. I don't eat a lot because most foods make me feel like I need to vomit, so I drink a glass of red Wine or a ginger ale. I purchased the 5 day Pouch book and plan to start officially tomorrow. However need the accountability for to be successful. HELP with ideas to stay on track to loss this weight. I know it's doable, but having support makes it easier. Has anyone experienced gaining weight from drinking red wine or ginger ale?

nope.

in fact, i don't think alcohol and sugary soft drinks have been a problem for anyone but you...

I doubt red wine and ginger ale (regular or diet?) are the sole factors in your weight gain (though neither is a great idea, as you no doubt know). I'd suggest going back to MyFitnessPal or a similar app to log everything you eat and drink and see how the calories stack up.

5-Day Pouch Reset is a fad diet/scam. It was invented as a marketing tool for a bariatric center to sell products.

Drinking red wine and soda will not help you get back on track if you're trying to lose weight. Instead, you need to focus on healthy, not processed food, and track your calories in an app like MyFitnessPal.
