Dry July

Now that I am on day 26 can I join ;-) too afraid I would fail before but only 5 days left and not a drop!

I've been doing exercise instead so when I get home after that all I want is a protein shake. Chocolateey goodness!! 😁

Day 2 down. No probs so far.

I know!  I did the first night last night and managed ok, lots of cups of tea!  I have done it before, like you said, while pregnant and pre-op because my liver needed a break.  I guess I want to test out if I can do it without a good reason.  So far so good.  I predict a problem in about a week when I am camping for five days with friends who REALLY like a drink.

I am starting today, even though it is not officially July yet.  For some reason I always have to start things on a Monday!  Anyone else can feel free to wait till the official date.

Awesome Lmw93579. Let's see if anyone else is game.

I'll join you! No alcohol since the start of optifast and recently have been thinking just a couple would be fine but I know it would mess with my losses. So it'll give me another reason to put it off. Will get to drinking eventually but I want to get as far as I can towards my goal first

Hi all

I am 14 weeks post sleeve and coping pretty well. One thing I have noticed is that I was quite easily able to abstain from alcohol for two weeks optifast and about 6 weeks post op, and I really didn't want to drink much at all until just recently. As usual, a stressful event in my personal life has me drinking more than I would like. It is not dangerous but it will hamper my weight loss efforts. I thought I would give Dry July a go, and I wondered if anyone wanted to join me? We could support each other and see how far we get.
