What I'd give...

I'm 5 months post op as of the 13th. I've wanted a glass of wine for a month now. Anyone had wine since surgery?

Starting somewhere between 5-6 months, I would have 1-2 glasses of wine a week, only if

I had met my Protein and Water goals for that day and had extra calories to "spend" on wine.

My team was OK with it.

I'm 13 months out and enjoying a Kentucky Mule right now (bourbon, fresh lime juice and sugar free ginger beer). People have very strong feelings about this, so be prepared for a ton of responses.

I'm 6 months out and don't see a problem with an occasional glass of wine. Daily isn't a good idea for weight loss or liver health (the liver works overtime processing our fat).

My team said to wait until 6 months post op. I've had a couple glasses of wine since then and a cocktail or two at special events. I don't drink on a regular basis but have been to a couple weddings so I did have a glass of wine or cocktail in those instances.

6 months post op was my Doc's decree as well.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ˜ญ. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! ๐Ÿ˜ž
