When I had my surgery done, I was given a book about LAP-BAND® surgery that was written by a prominent Australian LAP-BAND® surgeon. In the chapter about food and drink it stated that at first they told their patients not to drink as it was just empty calories, but that through research with their clients they found that a glass of wine, especially a glass of red wine was actually beneficial to weight loss. It stated that he allowed 7 glasses of red wine per week. :clap2:

I've enjoyed a glass of wine since surgery on occasion, and my favourite right now is Yellow Tail Chiraz. Yummy!

I've been craving a bottle of beer the last few days, it's just been so hot and sticky, but I'm afraid of the fizzies. So I'll stick with my occasional glass of wine :)
