Need drink ideas (alcohol)



Recommended Posts

I bought these skinny mixes thinking I was on to something until I got them home and realized I can’t have sprite or club soda or anything to mix them with. Anyone have any ideas using crystal light or something else I am not thinking of. I used to drink rum and Coke and I tried run and crystal light plain and it tasted gross to me.

I like Ocean Spray Diet 5 Ruby Red (pink grapefruit flavor) mixed with a splash of vodka on ice.

Might be ok with orange juice and vodka or cranberry and vodka or both lol! Get creative. I looked up ideas on Pinteret for Keto cocktails and low/no sugar cocktails..there are lots of ideas and I’m sure you could mix those in with most of them.

My go-to’s are vodka or gin sodas with lots of lime, espresso martinis (espresso vodka & kahlua…kahlua has a good bit of sugar though), dry red wine or vodka caesars (canadian version of a bloody mary…a little high in carbs though, and super high in sodium).

A close friend of mine received some vodka for Christmas last year and we experimented with what tasted good with it, V-8 juices?! They are too sweet now. Maybe some concentrated green tea with fresh mint with vodka? Straight whiskey? Maybe look up some old timey drinks from the 1920’s?

Anyone try those Beatboxes yet? They have zero sugar and low calories. I tried them but it was right after surgery and my husband bought a few different flavors so I took a sip of each one. I don't remember which flavors I liked exactly but none of them were too bad. I may eventually try them again since I only had a sip of the ones I tried.

      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.
