When I was growing up rye and ginger was a very popular drink. (Maybe it is an easterner thang....):)

I only drink wine, Bloody Marys, scotch-rocks, or beer. My husband likes rum and coke and B-52s. Whenever he orders rum and coke and I order scotch-rocks the waiter drops off the rum-coke on my side of the table. :) Go figure, eh.:omg:

Nope....rye and ginger is definitely not an Easterner thing (I haven't lived in Ontario all my life, ya know!); I can attest to that!

It just isn't as common to the younger folk!! There, I said it!! LOL....

but.....I'm with Green....nothin' beats a good scotch....(a good one, mind you....not the cheap imitation stuff!).

Rye and ginger, a popular drink around here also. Personally, can't stand the taste or smell of rye, bourbon or scotch. The first thing I ever drank was rye.....got very very ill. Never been able to drink it again and that was probably 25 years ago. I like everything else although since banding can't drink wine anymore. When I drink wine, I get terrible heartburn. My choice these days is a White Russian, the milk in it is easier on the stomach.

I'm like that with rum Wheezy.....I can just get a teeny whiff of it and I wanna hurl. I KNOW it is related to my school trip (at the age of 15) to the Stratford Festival (ie. drunken blast without supervision) wherein I drank enough Rum to fill a pool and thought "mixing" drinks meants 1 tsp of mix (ie. coke) and 3 cups of rum. Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo the horrible memory of it.

And the next day I was so naive that I truly thought I had come down with the flu.

Soooo not fun.......rum never passed between my lips again!

Hey!!! C'mon....ya can't tell me ya didn't experiment with alcohol that young? (really...didn't you?). Don't worry....I was at least 16 before I had another drink!!! LOL. Of course then I realized if you drink vodka you can't smell it on your breath and so I started to have them liquid lunches at High School....no worries....only for a wee bit (bad crowd!)....then I went back to PB&J and didn't drink again until I was LEGAL!!!!

course, I don't drink at ALL now....(really I don't).....I guess I got it all outta me early!!

At least I can honestly say I never tried drugs....not too many people can say that in all honesty!!

      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.
