Recommended Posts

Going out tomorrow night and curious what cocktails you all order. I know soda mixed drinks are a no-no as is beer. So tell me some of your favorites! :thumbup:

I like wine or vodka with a slash of OJ.

Everything in moderation including moderation, right? I have had some beer since my surgery but no other carbonated beverages. I opt for, when drinking:

1. Vodka and Cranberry

2. Sweat Tea Vodka and Lemonade

3. Whiskey Sour (Though I suppose Midori would work too)

When mixing at home (on occasion) I use the delicious Vitamin Water Zero as a mixer. Been very pleased thus far.

My doctor's office is right next door to a new Cajun bar and grill. My husband waits there for me when I go for my fill. I was early and walked in to find him chowing down on a burger and fries that looked wonderful...and I was starving because it was late in the day and I can have nothing before a fill and only clears after. So I decided to treat myself on fill days to one of their cocktails. This week was a Coastal Breeze - vodka, cranberry, and sour mix. Fairly low calorie and clear enough.

I'm a wine drinker, never drink anything else.

I dont know, I've had too many years since my childhood of knowing there are horrendous calories and sugar in coke and lemonade so I never ever ever drink soda at all, and I guess the same is true of cocktails, its just never been a habit of mine to drink anything other than wine.

Makes it easy. I woudl probably enjoy other things but its probably a habit I dont need, lol.

Ditto! I never heard the term "John Daly" before though. Is that the name of the vodka drink? I've always heard a regular tea and lemonade referred to as an "Arnold Palmer".

I also love wine and MARTINIS!! But you do have to watch the calories.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
