what alcoholic drinks do you still enjoy?



Recommended Posts

I'm not a huge drinker but occasionally would like to enjoy a drink or two on a night out with the hubby. I don't like wine and obviously I avoid carbonation. I have tried a few mixed drinks but they are too sweet and upset my stomach, help! I need suggestions!

Banded 11/12/12 243 pounds sz 20/22

Current weight 182.6 sz 14/16 and feeling awesome!

Thanks everyone minus the person who felt the need to tell me none bc they want to lose! Obviously I'm pretty successful if I've lost 63 pounds in five months and I think its ok to enjoy a drink every once in awhile.

I like Skinny Girl vodka mixed with crystal light. There are a ton of flavor combinations you can do with that. If I were to order at a bar/restaurant, then I would probably get a vodka cranberry, margarita, or whiskey sour. You can ask the bartender for suggestions on non-carbonated mixed drinks based on your particular tastes, they love that kind of stuff.

All of them...including Beer!

Sunday we went out to dinner...had two Bloody Mary's while waiting in the bar for our table......

It's a lifestyle...all my skinny friends are not afraid to have alcohol from time to time....but if you are just starting out, you need to develop and get to that new lifestyle...does not happen overnight.

      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.
