Recommended Posts

I haveb een doing good lately with my weight loss, diet and workout. I don't wanna drink, but what do I do when I go out with my girls I do wanna have a few drinks, but I know it is empty calories. Has anyone went out for drinks at all if so what do you drink and what do you do so that you don't gain the weigh back?

I'll have a couple of drinks every now and then . If we at my house or I'm going over a friends I'll take a batch of skinny Cosmos with me 80 cals. If I'm out it's gonna be a Vodka and cranberry juice. It is empty calories so be careful.

If it is occasional, you shouldn't have a problem with a few drinks. For the same reason you don't want to drink your meals. It is calorie laden and not very satisfying. Personally, I get hungry after a few glasses of wine and want to eat my house. This is incentive enough for me to limit this practice. Are you staying up on your fills and limiting your Snacks between meals? You may be in a stall, but this is a good time to measure yourself and pay attention to how your clothes feel. Hugs!!!

I spoke my to my nut about this just yesterday lol. She said that the point of living is to enjoy it. Being skinny isn't the end all and that if you're not happy living life what's the point? That being said, She said have at it with the booze, just keep it in moderation and counter act with the excersise. Her suggestion was stay away from the beer and light on the sugar. Hard liquour (like vodka) is the best IF you are going to drink. (She specifically said vodka)

I drank about 1/5 of a cup of orange juice and peach schnapps the other day. it was ok didnt really want to finish it. And tonight, a margarita is in order! (i'm 5 weeks out)... I'll let ya know how i make out!

Best of luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
