I have a halloween party to go to Sat night. I'm pretty excited because I'll get to dance & socialize!

While I'm not a big drinker, I would like to be able to have 'something.' This party is at a hotel so they should have a decent selection.

Any suggestions out there?

Wine is generally the best option. you can dilute it with soda Water to make it lower calorie as well.

BE CAREFUL!! They are not lying when they say the alcohol will effect you differently after the band! A few sips will feel like you drank 2 glasses!!! Go SLOW!!! And make sure you have someone there who will take care of you!!

Oh, I'm going with my hubby, and Lord knows he's going to make sure I'm ok with anything I drink. HUm, or maybe he'll want me buzzed... LOL .... ;)

I don't want to put anything with soda in my drink but I kinda like the Vodka & crystal light. I'm sure I'd be sipping that all night :-)

Crystal light comes in individual packets so you can mix it easily enough. Something else I tried once was vodka and Water with a splash of orange and cranberry juice. The splash isnt enough to count and just track the vodka calories for your daily allowances,

Have fun

The only problem is I'm going out to a little dive bar that won't have wine. As far as crystal light no bar around me has that either. So what's the best when you don't want soda or any carbonation. Do you bring your own crystal light and mix it with vodka? I want to know what you all do when you go out

I have actually mixed crystal light in a water bottle and given it to the bartender to use to mix my drink. Or less obvious keep it in your purse and order vodka on the rocks and a tall glass of ice on the side. The vodka will come in a short glass so you can transfer into the tall one and add the crystal light from your purse. If its a dive bar they won't care

Crystal light actually makes margarita flavor drink. You could make that & add the tequila! Jose Cuervo also makes a light, alcohol included, margarita mix. It's Delish! I haven't had it post wls but it was a staple pre- wls.

Have fun! Remember to drink lots of Water & stay away from the Scooby snacks!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
