So What Do I Order @ A Bar?

[Inner Surfer Girl 12,015]

I would go with Water or a Virgin Mary.

I'm a big fan of a solid porter, but only 1, and only about once per week.

I can't do carbonation so my go to's are -

Wine

Vodka Collins

Greyhound (vodka & grapefruit)

Cape Cod (vodka & cranberry)

And the very occasional margarita (many places have "skinny" versions these days)

Great list !

Depending on how crowded.....or loud it is, I've found that most bartenders with work with you and try to dial in something you like. The low carb crowd's voice has been heard and even reached their ears, it would seem.

I haven't gone out all that much since my sleeve, but have found a way to enjoy things and not have much hassle. The only real obstacle was when I wasn't in direct communication with the bartender at a local hot spot, French Market Grille, and the waiter wasn't savvy to the cause. Turns out they serve a Cajun martini.....arrived like a standard martini....but then they added a huge filled Mason jar for your refill desires. Oh Lawd............ Damn near got hamma'd from that one drink and it's evil Mason jar accomplice.......

i take my own Water with sugarfree flavoring in it and add a shot of vodka to it.

My summer cocktail is Raspberry Rum & pink crystal light lemonade! Yummy!

Vodka cranberry with a twist

Bloody Mary

Skinny Margarita if I can get it

On occasion I'll do a Guinness beer. Yeah, I know, the bubbles, judge away, but they don't bother me and Guinness is the healthiest and most lightly carbonated beer around. (It DOES make me full FAST and I often can't finish one)

I've been known to bring real-lime powder and mix my own skinny margarita with a shot of tequila, Water and stevia

Greyhound, (grapefruit juice and vodka) Sometimes tequila and a spot of stevia for a grapefruit margarita

Vodka and bring your own crystal light?

I agree!! Vodka and Water with crystal light!! I carried crystal light in my car and in my purse after my lap band surgery. I plan on doing the same thing after my sleeve, once I'm healed!!

I can do carbonation no problem in fact I enjoy it.

But I drink wine most often

Try a beer and see how you do!

I don't drink too often but when I do I go with wine. If I'm having a frilly drink I unfortunately go with sugary ones that are bad for you. Madori sour, sex on the beach, etc. but one drink lasts me a very long time, esp when paired with a glass of Water.
