So I need some ideas.  I use to be a beer and cooler drinker and because of my surgery I can no longer drink these things.  I'm not a huge drinker anyway but I was wondering if anyone had any yummy drink ideas that I could mix up.  Something thats not too complicated, just something to enjoy if I am sitting around with friends or something :o)

Try rum and a drink mix like Mai Tai mix..  I had not had a drink since before my band....until 2 nights ago. DH and I decided to have a drink before the show and so I had a Mai Tai. Boy am I cheap drink!  I was looped before I finished my one drink. I really enjoyed the show!! LOL

Alcohol is just empty calories so it is not recommended on any diet, especially not after WLS ( it can have a stronger effect on some types). But girl, you have to live too and the rare empty calorie is not going to kill you.

Because alchol has so many empty calories and it's hard to stop at one drink at a party try this. Have virgin drinks instead, My favorite is virgin strawberry daquaris. made with crushed ice and splenda. YUMMY

Haven't had a drink for quite a while as I have been sick - but my favourite was lite cranberry juice/light grapefruit juics and vodka with maybe a splash of peach schnapps if I felt adventurous- all over lots of ice. Since my surgery I stay away from anything carbonated. No one liked a cold beer on a hot day more than me. But - it's a small price to pay
