What is your favorite diet-friendly, non-carbonated alcoholic drink?



Recommended Posts

I'm not a big drinker but when I go out, I tend to drink things like Mudslides and White Russians, or I'll have an Amaretto Sour or a glass of wine. I stay away from carbonation, of course. I'm curious to learn what your favorite alcoholic drinks are, post-banding. Whatcha got?! (I'm going out tonight, so I need ideas! Heh.:rolleyes::rolleyes:)

I really missed my bourbon and coke....so, after a few weeks, I let a coke go flat and added the bourbon. It tasted really good! This from a gal that used to pour flat coke down the drain!!!:rolleyes:

I don't even miss carbonated drinks any more. Used to be hooked on diet Dr.Pepper. I haven't had one since my surgery 10 months ago......Hey, I think I might let one go flat and see how it goes.

Another favorite summertime alcoholic drink is a Mai-Tai. I have a marvelous recipe for them. Yummy!!:rolleyes:

My favorites are the ones you listed, minus the wine...I don't like wine at all.

A nice Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir is my choice. In fact, tonight will be the first time since beginning my pre-op diet on 4/9 that I will indulge in anything alcoholic and a bottle of Cab has already been picked out. :rolleyes:

For me it's red wine in the winter and margaritas in the summer. Cheers!

That's another great drink and can be diet-friendly when made from scratch instead of with the high-calorie mixes that most bars and restaurants use. Much tastier too in my opinion.

... margaritas in the summer. Cheers!

Amaretto Sours have always been my all-time favorite, then Daquiri's and Pina-Colada's.

Had some shots last year called Washington Apples that were out of this world!!

But I thought we couldn't have alcohol with the band. Not sure where I heard that from but for some reason I just thought we couldn't.

The Cranberry Vodka sounds good too. I might try that.

Bloody Marys are my favorite but I've had a beer or two since being banded and had no problem. I think Coor's light is only 100 calories. But I could only drink one because of the carbonation. I felt really full after drinking it. But it didn't hurt me or anything. Cheers!

I really only drink wine.

I drink both white and red but stick to white when I'm out as red wine makes my teeth go grey, it looks really ugly, lol.

I dont drink any spirits and I've never been into cocktails - too fattening, too expensive.

I can be tempted into a Baileys or Drambui late at night too.

I was banded 4 days ago, and I have to go out next week. When I go to the bar, I am going to order cranberry juice by itself...and pretend its a vodka cran! No one will be the wiser!!!!

      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.
