I didn't have any alcohol until I was at goal.
It's very impactful, half a glass of wine make me tipsy.
My program strongly recommends not drinking, ever, and they say that you should only drink with people you trust with your life because you will be drunk faster, on less alcohol, so much more impaired than you realize. It's a sobering perspective for sure (pun intended).
There have been many people that have developed an alchohol transfer addiction so that's something to be aware of it.
I will have a glass of wine or a ****tail at my choice but I do choose carefully, I put it in my plan if I do and I still adhere to the eating/drinking rules re: 30 minute wait times.

How long after surgery before you had your first glass of wine or any alcohol at all? And did you notice a difference in how the alcohol affected you?
For me, it is sticking to whole grains and lean meat, and always trying to limit myself and my portions, and so often I have to stop myself from eating while I am still hungry.
Congratulations on losing 200 pounds!
Exercise is my downfall. I know I need to do more.
Thank you for paying it forward...
I understand your frustration with others but this is your time to celebrate you! Losing 248 pounds is remarkable and you should be very proud. I find you to be an inspiration and your journey can help others if you wish to share it.

seeing the surgery as a tool and not a panacea
making a lifetime commitment to my maintenance plan(and everyone is different)
being mindfully active. I don't exercise but move as much as i can in my day
