Since my lap band im unable to drink beer, get very very bloated. Please tell me what y'all are able to drink.....

My doctor said no to any carbonated drinks because it will make you feel bloated.

I think that's not going to get better. I don't even dare to try.

I'm sitting in a bar right now waiting on a friend having a glass of water! Speaks volumes about my life right now. Don't cave to what is expected. Do what's best for my health regardless of surroundings even if it involves water in a bar!

For me its scotch, or other sorts of whiskey on the rocks. I also have done some other mixed drinks like vodka cran. Though I have almost totally given up drinking much because its not worth the calories it takes up in my budget, until I hit my weight goal at least.

I dont drink everyday but sometimes just sometimes i feel like a drink on the wknd or after a hard day at work. My last drink was pineapple and Malibu....just trying to get some ideas....

I like vodka and crystal light lemonade flavor

Thx ill try that

I've also been giving this a lot of thought so you are not alone

I liked having a beer and beer is the drink I have when I go out with friends. But what to do.. Beer is the most inexpensive drink I think so it was easy to buy some

I also love all carbonated alcoholic drinks, but no more ugh:(

I think I will go for Smirnoff Ice. I like that drink. It's more expensive but it's refreshing

When I have a drink it's vodka and cranberry juice...I've tried the bottled drinks, like Mikes and smirnoff but the carbonation doesn't agree with me....Lots of burping...

Beer, and any carbonated drinks are tricky with the band,,,,and the more restriction you get, the more trickier, and harmful they can be....

It took me over 2 years before I started to Drink beer again, but even then,,,it was only after I understood and learned how to listen to my band...all the little signals it sends me.....there is a technique to doing it, and it's like tip-toeing through a mine field.

From experience, I would not suggest it to people who are just starting out...there are so many other things one must learn first if you want to be 100% successful......do that first, then you can go back and learn how to do those little pleasurable things that Dieters would never dream of....

I pretty much eat and drink anything I want, my weight has been "Optimal" for years, and I have absolutely no fear of gaining any weight back and dieting is a thing of the past....but it did not happen over night, I had other things to concentrate on.

I found out that Smirnoff Ice is sparkly at least in Europe.

Good thing that I'm not a huge drinker. Sometimes months go between me having a glass of alcohol.
