Slightly controversial drink (wine, spirit, beer) poll



Recommended Posts

I like Riesling and Moscato but I have had a hard one finding it without fizz ... I have had a couple sips of Lambic Beer. I have yet to try tequila post sleeve but I want to try a shot or two . I only really drink socially and even then it is 1x per month or less :)

Barefoot and Yellowtail both make really nice, non-fizzy moscatos. Yummy!

I found out the Dangerous Dave from Dave's BBQ I like (once every couple months) has a little Pepsi in it. The carbonation from it does not bother me at all. Must be only a splash in the mix of rum, triple sec and other liqueurs. Not even sure how many calories or carbs are in it. Am not that concerned. It is a good drink for chewing the fat with my bro.

oh no I know I'm not a failure! 170 was my goal- to put things in perspective- I weighed 170 pounds at 10 years of age. I wear mediums and size 10. I have never been happier. At 262 pounds I was 2x and size 24!

I started out at 365 and now I'm 286.i think a glass of wine a few times a month that is ok

Yes, I usually always have my drink before dinner. Two problems with this. The drink usually always makes me eat in a less controlled manner and I usually don't give myself the obligatory 15 min wait time before eating. Second issue is caused by the first and because the food comes out right after or while still finishing drink. For this reason, I am tempted not even to drink and eat in the same session. Not sure. What do others do?

Hi Fiddleman,

I don't order food till I'm finished with my drinks. That way, it doesn't arrive too early.

Thank you for the verde chicken recipe. I made it last night and it was great! My wife wants me to make it again tonight.

As far as alcohol goes I used to really enjoy bourbon. My taste for it is just now coming back. I do like a good tequila with fresh juice when I do drink.

Fiddleman- you might want to try a jungle juice at Piccola's pizza in Snohomish. My wife ordered one and I had a drink of hers and then I had to order one for me. It was one of the best drinks I have had in a long time. It's made with all fresh squeezed juice with rum, vodka and tequila. Very good!

The very BEST moscato is at costco. 8.99 a bottle. I have started many people drinking with a bottle of that one. It is a little fizzy. As a rule I don't drink, I've always been a lightweight, maybe a couple of times a year, but I love this stuff so much I could get into real trouble. In fact I don't open a bottle unless there is someone here to drink it with me.

I'm still mad at myself, I meant to open a bottle the week before surgery. ;-)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
