Alcoholic Drinks



Recommended Posts

I waited 5 months to have a drink and when i did I had vodka! I drank shots and followed it with crystal light I may have gone over board a tad.... but it was my birthday I had fun HOWEVER... the next three days I felt hung over and I felt guilty for drinking because all I could think about was carbs carbs sugar and hurting my liver and my spouse said I was trying to shove food in my mouth... I never want to be fat again so I decided alcohol is not for me I use to drink a lot in college and I am just worried about waking up that LiL monster and ruining all that I have worked hard for!

In the past, I've done minute maid diet lemonade (5 or 15 calls) and vodka, or Tropicana 50 (w/calcium + Vitamin D) coconut rum, plus DaVinci sugar free pineapple Syrup.< br>
Crystal light options are good too.

I seem to do best with a dark beer. I can't drink more than half, but I like the flavor and it seems less fizzy than a light beer like Bud light 55.

I used to love mixed drinks. But I’m not allowed to have carbonated drinks or drinks with tons of sugar. I tend to gear towards the sugar free juices like mango, pineapple, orange and mix them with vodka. Flavored vodkas make it much better tasting too. A healthy version of a pińa colada is sugar free pineapple juice, coconut milk and some Malibu blended with ice is so Yummm! Try it out!

I can’t do carbonation, it’s just painful, even at four and a half years out. So beer and a lot of mixed drinks are out.

I do wine. I do vodka Collins or Tom Collins. The bars almost always have low cal Collins mix. Vodka/light cranberry if mixing at home. Grapefruit juice and vodka is a greyhound and I like those, if you don’t have acid problems.

      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.
