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!

Banded 11/12/12 243 pounds sz 20/22

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
