Alcoholic beverages

[newbeginnings1965 48]

I am only 3 weeks in but i consider the surgery as a tool to be healthier. I could make bad choices, but if i make good choices most of the time and have small portions. I will eat pizza again, but 1 small piece instead of 3. I will enjoy a drink once in a while. If being perfect for 1 year meant i would be at a healthy weight for the rest of my life i would do it. But instead this is for the rest of my life and i need to find the balance of health and sanity.

My adult beverage of choice is wine -- either white or red, depending on the season and the food I'm likely to drink later. (The taste of the wine is still there for me.)

In winter, I love single malt scotch.

When I drink, I only have one drink (4-5 ounces of wine), and I don't drink every day / night, but usually do on weekends.

I'm the definition of a social drinker (max of 1 drink a day).

Parrot Bay coconut Water margaritas! Tiny little cans about half the size of a soda can. Probably don't have them at a bar, but it's my drink of choice at home or a party. Low in sugar and the coconut Water makes me feel kinda healthy LOL.

The alcohol content is pretty low (my mother in law had one at my house once and asked me if it was non alcoholic) but it's plenty for me! The alcohol hits me hard post sleeve but like many have said, it's gone quickly.

Yes! They have them at most of our local grocery stores in CA--Von's, Albertsons I have even seen them at Walmart but not consistently.

I drink Double vodka / crystal light! 1 drink I'm good. I enjoy a cocktail now and then.

I had a 50th birthday dinner and choose to have my first post-op drink. I had my favorite, a margerita. I ate before the party and it took my 2 hours to drink it, but it was enjoyable. My new eating plsn is for life, so if i want a drink once in awhile i will have one, just can't eat while drinking

Drank wine two months out. Couldn't finish the glass in an hour. Not worth the calories.
