OMG , that is the hardest thing i have given up. my beer. i was a weekend drinker. i went threw the wine thing trying different ones, and it got to the point i couldn't stomach any more. wine. GROSS!!!!! I am a country girl. I like beer. lol. So i have decided to stick with margaritas . i just buy a huge think of Vodka and some strawberry or lime mixes. I wish they made flat beer.... I have been drinking flat diet coke. I open a can at night and drink it in the morning . not bad at all. im scared to try the beer that way. ewwww don't sound to good.

I like 'ritas too, just keep track of the calories. 4 oz. strawberry mix = 140 calories and 33g sugar, 1 oz tequila = 70 calories.

So a strawberry margarita the same size as a beer will have around 600 calories and 100 grams of sugar. I realize that's a big 'rita, but if you think about it as having just 2 average sized ones, that's a lot of sugar and calories. :closedeyes:

There are some sugar free mixes out there that have zero calories (not counting the alcohol), might be worth checking out.

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

      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! 😞
