My doctor recommends Crystal Light. I love the iced tea lemon flavor. :sad: I was told that my pre-op dietitian appointment was more for the insurance than anything else. My doctor can't really find a dietitian that he likes. However, he tells me what I need to be eating and how much. He's really good about it.

I am also not allowed to drink Crystal Light because of the citric acid. I have occasionally done it when I'm in an area where the Water tastes awful, but generally speaking I avoid it. Just like most other things, you get used to life without it and it's not so bad.

I have been drinking generic Crystal Light for 16 months and all of a sudden I am getting extreme reflux and acid indigestion from it. I am going to try and get used to plain Water, bleck!!!!

My doctor has banded the use of Crystal light, because it has a sweenter and any form of sweetner or sugar will make you hungry.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
