I'm going to miss wine, aren't I...

freckle face · 08-11-2011, 08:17 PM

I am going to miss my nightly glass (or two) of wine. Anyone else in the same boat?

verbqueen · 08-11-2011, 08:20 PM

I dunno, because I'm missing my nightly FOOD too much to have any time left to worry about wine.....

freckle face · 08-11-2011, 08:28 PM

Ha! I guess that's one way to look at it. And we are almost neighbors! You in OC, me in San Diego! I actually grew up in the City of Orange! I went to El Modena high school. You?

verbqueen · 08-11-2011, 08:29 PM

Didn't grow up here (Yorba Linda), but my kids did and went to Esperanza. My daughter now works as a writer for Chapman University, right in your old back yard!

privatediva · 08-11-2011, 08:32 PM

I do miss wine. And Scotch. hic

freckle face · 08-11-2011, 08:36 PM

Oh well, I'll enjoy my last couple of nights with wine (and maybe a bit o' vodka). No biggie.

Venessa · 08-11-2011, 08:57 PM

Yesssss! I miss wine so much but I get so sick if I drink it. Even half a glass.

TishyLish68 · 08-12-2011, 06:50 AM

Yeah, I missed my wine for the 8 months that I stayed on induction, but it was worth it for the consistent weight loss. Now I have wine on the weekends and I think that I enjoy it even more now by looking forward to that "treat" all week.

LaraSuzz · 08-12-2011, 07:19 AM

I miss my dark Bacardi Select Rum! Rum and Coke Zero is nice in P3!

Kiley2801 · 08-12-2011, 07:50 AM

If you do the Omaha Weight Loss plan, you can still have one small glass of wine her day!

privatediva · 08-12-2011, 08:08 AM

I'm MUCH better off in P2 without any alcohol. One small glass of wine (or a half. or a sip

) is all it would take for me to justify eating anything at all. I look forward to a glass at dinner in P3 when I'm "safer".

Wine is allowed in P3? How much and what kinds are best (red, white, pink)? I loved my wine, but don't want to gain weight in P3.

privatediva · 08-12-2011, 11:14 AM

My Dr's instructions just say "a small glass". I prefer a dry white, usually a NZ Sauvignon Blanc, so that's what I'm planning for

paulabob · 08-12-2011, 12:13 PM

Yes, I also do a sauvignon blanc, and NOT the first few days of P3! Cause even lowcarb, my weight will rebound up.

I totally miss it the first weekend of P2, but then I don't think about it.

try2basunbeam · 08-12-2011, 01:26 PM

I dunno...I missed wine but now I have a gin and diet tonic water every night--sometimes 2. Doesn't affect my losses. I've had rum and diet coke too, but not as much because of the caramel coloring in the coke, I think is bad. Also dark alcohols make for bad hangovers. Also, on hcg, it takes much less alcohol to feel oopsy. Which feeling oopsy leads to "oopsy, I shouldn't have eaten that" so be careful...

exactly! I prefer food over wine any day

Hopefully it won't be too difficult for you, FF

RedsSkinnyJeans · 08-13-2011, 01:46 PM

I miss my...ANY sort of drink right now. My mother in law just left after a LONG visit.

No. I know. I'll just go jab a stick in my eye. And eat a wedge of grapefruit.

freckle face · 08-13-2011, 01:56 PM

Red. My in-laws are coming in a few weeks. They usually stay for 6 weeks.

RedsSkinnyJeans · 08-14-2011, 04:07 AM

Whoa. I don't even know what to say about that.

j4Christ · 08-14-2011, 08:00 AM

This may sound yukko to some, but it helped me when I missed my wine. I would take about 1 T. cider vinegar, add water and ice to my wine glass. It might work with red wine vinegar too, but I haven't tried that. It wouldn't really work if you are going out, but at home or with friends it could help.
