another good one.... Diet MTN Dew and tequilla also... Mike's Hard lemonade (the light stuff is not nearly as good)... you just need to let it go a little flat... I just our it into a glass over ice... it goes flat pretty quick. I can usually drink after 5 mins without issue.

come on everyone. if you are worried about what drink to have then theres something really wrong. thiat is why alot of the " the band didnt work for me" comes up. you dont have to drink it is a choice. i can see maybe a drink every now and then like new years our july 4th. but none of us really need it.

i wouldnt be saying this unless i went threw the samething.

i was a bad drinker and i was always drinking. but i realise that me losing weight and getting in better shape is more important. and if the people around me, judge me because i dont drink anymore then screw them. because i know what is best for me. so i wish that everyone that is still drinking ourthinking about it would stop. i hate seeing people going back down the wrong road.

thats my .02 cents anyways.

Jason,

I think maybe you're projecting some of your own background/issues here onto the rest of us. As someone who has never had a drinking problem but does enjoy a drink or two in the evening, I definitely don't fit the "all or nothing" model you're suggesting. And I've lost well over 100 pounds while having a drink most evenings.

Have you ever tried Baja Bob's margarita mix. No calories made with splenda. Not too bad with a couple of fresh limes squeezed in it. You can purchase at some stores or order on line. They also have other mixes as well.

Okay, I am a newbie here and only been banded a couple weeks, but I am a real biker and I must reply to this post. First of all skip any of those stupid girly drinks! If you hang around with "real bikers" and not just a bunch of wild hog wannabe types you need to find a drink you will enjoy and not get you laughed outta the bar. Home brews or wine, cool if you sittin @ home with the ol lady, but in a real biker bar neither is cool. I am a die hard burbon guy from way back, my problem is I always enjoyed bourbon and coke. So what to do? Ask your hot lil bartender! A real cutie turned me on to Whiskey sour's, and they taste pretty good. made from whiskey and lime juice, you can enjoy a drink and not get laughed out the door at the same time. All the guy's in my club know about my surgery and think it's cool, and nobody cares if I'm havin a beer or a whisky sour. Your a man, find ya a man's drink and enjoy it!:blushing:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
