Today while I was having my teeth cleaned- the hygenist was watching the view and there was a nutritionist on and she pointed out that :

1 Margarita (lg) has 800 cal and 56gm sugar THAT = 4 donuts!!

1 Appletini has 377cal and 40ish gmsugar

Long Island tea >1000cal and 155gm sugar!!

1 5oz wine 100cal choose red for antioxidants

EPIPHANY: THATS why im fat and DAMN IT those crapy no i mean

GREAT drinks gave me my first cavity in 30yrs!! Who knew!!

oh my gawd - with the exception of the long island ice tea - those are my most favorite drinks - granted i only have one (sometimes two) - but that's an eye opener. kinda curious about the apple martini - i always thought vodka was decent calorie wise and all the 'flavors' were so tiny (amounts) that it wouldn't add up to that much - goes to show you - ANOTHER reason why the pounds stay on me...

bottom line...drink your liquor straight! LOL all of that sugar and calories comes from mixers that are used. mainly bar mix

lol, that is why i drink rum and diet coke (trick I learned from a really skinny girl)

gonnabethin - your post scared me! I was trying to figure out how one drink could have 1150.0 calories - but the 0.0 means something else. DUH

Bettina: Try vanilla vodka with a diet vanilla coke and a cap full of vanilla extract. (I really like vanilla) It tastes like a really vanilla delight. And if I'm feeling especially naughty I'll add a shot of vanilla rum. Cabana Boy. LOL

But I thought we were supposed to give up alcohol post banding? My surgeon was adamant about that. So was the behaviorist, matter of fact. I wonder if that's fact or if that's judgment!

Mmmmmm booze. I'm going to dream about buttery nipple shots and tequila shooters.

LMAO Funny! I agree, give it to me straight!!!!
