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!!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
