Please tell me how to count my units of wine and beer (light and regular).
Thank you so much!

I'm from the Uk where it's nice and easy as they're printed on the labels.

Other people on here from the US have recommended this link to an alcohol calculator...

Hope it helps :D

Thanks Ruthy! Still waiting for my Nal to arrive. Just want to
Be ready when it gets here, I'm very excited to begin! I am
a little concerned about side effects as I had my gallbladder
out in July and have been having some problems with nausea
and bowel issues ever since. I am also on an antidepressant
(Celexa) and I hope that won't complicate matters for me.
Guess I will just have to see how it goes, but I do intend to
start with a low dose.
Very happy to have this forum for support!

Sounds like you're all set. Starting at a low dose is a good idea, and work your way up slowly depending on your reaction to it. I took mine with an anti sickness pill at first, which really helped with the nausea. I know that other people on here are on antidepressents and I think I've heard the name Celexa, so if you use the search box I'm sure posts will come up to give you a bit more info about that. Have you used the tracker to work out your pre TSM intake? It's good to have a baseline.
Good luck!
