What do you drink instead of coke?



Recommended Posts

I've always, always drank a diet coke first thing in the morning. Water just isn't good to me that early. I'm looking for a replacement but I still want something sugar free.

Do they make sugar free canned lemonade?

What about Crystal Light? I LIVE on it. I love the lemonade, fruit punch, and sunrise orange.

Try Special K Protein Water mix. Each pouch mixes with a bottle of water and give you 5c, 5g of protein and 5g of Fiber. I use it every day.

Coke was my thing too. I drink Minute Maid Light Lemonade. It is 5 calories and 2g total carbs but 0 sugars. (I don't get how that is but that's what the label says!!) I just can't get the Protein Drink or Water out so early.

As far as lemonade, Minute Maid Light in a can is good. Otherwise, I drink Crystal Light (multiple flavors), Water, Diet Ocean Spray juices (different flavors available), Powerade Zero.

I was a Diet Coke junkie for 25+ years. I wonder if some of the problems I've had over the years weren't related to all that crap in my system. No caffeine for me (other than in chocolate occasionally).

There are plenty of no-fizzy low calorie drinks out there. It's your opportunity to try something new! Go for it!

The Fuze Healthy Infusions - Slenderize - Tropical Punch, 10 calories for to whole bottle, NO sugar, Carbs, but taste great and is natural flavors/colors, and provides 100% of your daily Vitamin C. And it is clear for pre-op people! Yum Yum YUMM!

PS. I too LIVED on Diet Coke, gave it up a few weeks before my preop to get rid of the headaches early. I love this stuff!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
