what alcoholic drinks do you still enjoy?



Recommended Posts

I'm not a huge drinker but occasionally would like to enjoy a drink or two on a night out with the hubby. I don't like wine and obviously I avoid carbonation. I have tried a few mixed drinks but they are too sweet and upset my stomach, help! I need suggestions!

Current weight 182.6 sz 14/16 and feeling awesome!

Thanks everyone minus the person who felt the need to tell me none bc they want to lose! Obviously I'm pretty successful if I've lost 63 pounds in five months and I think its ok to enjoy a drink every once in awhile.

I like Skinny Girl vodka mixed with crystal light. There are a ton of flavor combinations you can do with that. If I were to order at a bar/restaurant, then I would probably get a vodka cranberry, margarita, or whiskey sour. You can ask the bartender for suggestions on non-carbonated mixed drinks based on your particular tastes, they love that kind of stuff.

All of them...including Beer!

Sunday we went out to dinner...had two Bloody Mary's while waiting in the bar for our table......

It's a lifestyle...all my skinny friends are not afraid to have alcohol from time to time....but if you are just starting out, you need to develop and get to that new lifestyle...does not happen overnight.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
