alcohol=stopped weight loss or gain???

My weight loss has pretty much stopped and I have even gained 1 1/2 pounds. I understand that it is normal for your weight to go down and then up a little but....here about 3 weeks ago I went for a drink and then again the week after. I have notice that nothing is happening with my weight since then. I only had like one over a 2 hour period. Is the booze to blame? Patty

How about your period Patty? Where in your cycle are you? I've had a few drinks since surgery (1/2 glass of wine or a wine cooler) with no adverse effects. Right now my weight is going up and down every day. One day I'll be 222 and the next 225 and then back down to 222. Annoying but from what I understand it's par for the weight loss surgery course. Good luck to you! Tina

If your tracking your calories and know your in good daily limits with the drink, I don't see why not... but alcohol is very high in calories and can add up really quick... I would track your calorie intake on one of the various websites...
