Advice

I am going on holiday a week on Monday. A few girls at work have done slimfast this week and dropped 5 pound.


Is it stupid for me to do a week with having a band?

Just thinking a little boost before a week drinking nearly every day x x x

Should you be drinking so soon after having a gastric band? What are your providers guidelines on alcohol post band?

I had my band last August.

Provider said in my booklet it was ok to drink after 2 weeks. I didn't drink for the first 4 months.


I have stuck to advice by the book and I was only querying the slim fast not the wine!

I personally wouldn't. The whole idea is for a healthier lifestyle - if you want to drop lbs then keep following your plan and maybe cut out treats either side. Slim fast and other crash diets should be things of the past.

Thanks yvessa.


That's what I was thinking.

My lunch is normally 2 ryvita with tuna and peppers so only about 180 calls anyway x x
