Drinks Out? What Are The Best Choices?



Recommended Posts

I have some social events this summer and looking for some good choices for drinks. I tried beer about a month ago and it was too carbonated for me. I am almost 4 months post-op. Thanks!

Red or white wine would work for me. Watch those hidden calories though!

I like jack and coke zero. Lots of ice to take the carbonation out. Only 65 calories in a shot.

I like

Absolut citron w/lemonade

Grey goose w/cranberry(even the light cran is tolerable)

Dissarono straight up

Crown Royal or Pendalton with a packet of Splenda & a squeeze of lime & plenty of ice ( I prefer pendleton but most places don't have it)

Vodka and cranberry or sangria those are my two go to drinks. I've not really drank more than 1 or 2 at a time.

I have seen a lot of places have a skinny margaritas now and I get those often. Some are sugar free some are made with a small amount of agave nectar but they are low calorie.

I wasn't cleared to drink until I was 6 months out. I started out with sweeter, non-acid drinks because my tummy was still a little sensitive. I liked Cranberry and Cointreau and port wines. Not low calorie, but since I only had one or two, no big deal. I'm back to regular now, and drink anything I want.

      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.
