Defensive much?

When posting on a public forum you're going to get public opinion. That's kind of a given. If that bothers you' date=' you may want to rethink posting the questions you're obviously sensitive about.[/quote']

Blah' date=' blah, blah.

No one attacked anyone. No one attempted to interfere with anyone's rights. No one judged anyone. Suggestions were offered, at her request. If someone doesn't want suggestions, don't post it publicly.

If you're old enough to drink then you should be old enough to handle various feedback and make your own decision... Without whining about the opinions you don't like.

Oh to the op, it looks like you got some good suggestions.. The only thing I could add is when drinking the first time go slow.. It really made me flush and sweaty when I drank more than a few sips.. It's hard to explain but it made me feel like crap for a few minutes and scared me a bit.

Add PMSing too. Not my best moment, I will own that.

My apologies for the "blah blah blah" part of the comment. In the future I will leave such comments in my head.

I like to drink "Dirty Shirleys" It is Vodka, Sprite, Grenadine and Lime juice,

If made correctly there is VERY little carbonation bc the soda is diliuted so much with the grenadine, lime juice and vodka... I use sprite zero in mine...

I am in my sister's wedding in May and I was wondering what to drink... By choice I drink Red Wine regularly but I hate to drink it when I go out and there could be pictures involved bc I HATE the purple tinge to my teeth... I was so happy when someone introduced me to the dirty shirley, the first time I had it was in NYC when we saw Chicago last month it was the Theater's featured drink for the show :)

I'm almost 5 months postop and had my first drink last night (vodka and cranberry with lime). Like a poster above stated to drink it slow and see how you do. Definitely do that. I too got flushed very quickly and had body sweats. It was very strange and I did drink it slowly. Good luck and have fun at the wedding!

I would suggest you consider skipping alcohol all together or get something like a vodka and cran with lime.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
