Looking for advice for parties



Recommended Posts

I have a birthday party that I have to go to tonight. Anyway I don’t wanna drink alcohol as I’m only one month out, I can’t drink juice due to sugar, and I’m worried anything with bubbles will hurt.
I don’t want a bunch of questions and why I’m only drinking Water.
What can I drink that looks like a normal drink that I will be able to tolerate. I was hoping for a non-alcohol, non frizzy, non sugar drink. Does a drink like this even exist?
Please help guys I have no one else to turn too?
I’m so anxious about tonight.

Just tell everyone you are the designated driver! No worries because you are being safety minded. I used to carry around a glass of white wine. Didn't drink it, just carried it around.

Is it at a bar? If so you could ask barman to pop some fresh lime and maybe mint in a glass Water. People that push you to drink may assume you're having a vodka lime soda or mojito then.

What about Water with some Crystal Light or Mio flavoring? It'll be a color that could indicate just about anything in terms of a mixed drink . . .?

The above posts have it right. nobody needs to know that the drink in your hand is Water. Mio bottles are real tiny you could carry that around easy or just keep lemon or lime piece in glass. If your with date/spouse go with DD bit otherwise you might have drive some drunk home (lol)

      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.
