I love Water. Probably the biggest :D for me so far is that water sits well on my stomach. I was so afraid it wouldn't.

Otherwise, I am drinking caffine free ice tea. My grocery sells it in a gallon like milk and I like it a lot. They have different versions in the event you like something artificially sweetened or with lemon flavor. I also bought some of the Protein Drink mix but I have to water it down to where it's not worth the effort.

Are you needing completely calorie free? A lot of the folks in my support group drank diluted apple juice in the first few weeks. I don't like apple juice but they were doing it just to help settle their stomachs.

I mostly drink splenda sweetened home-brewed ice tea. I also like watered down apple juice and fruit juice (Minute Maid). Other than that, I don't drink any Crystal Light or other liquids from my pre-op diet. I had a bad experience in the hospital so I am unable to drink them, including my Protein shakes!

I drink Water when I don't have any ice tea or juice. Other than that, that's about all I drink now.

I am gonna head to the gift shop at work and see if they have any of your suggestions. Thanks guys. I think variety helps to spice things up, and keeps you focused better.

I'm still adjusting to the Water thing. I bought a Britta Water filter and I'm up to drinking a gallon a day, keep in mind that I'm also drinking coffee and diet coke (probably a gal. each LOL) so I haven't kicked the habit.

I do think the filtered or spring water tastes alot better but keep in mind I'm in Vegas and our water here isn't the best.

What is "Mio Mia"? I've never heard of that and is it like zero cal. zero carbs?

So drink something else for heaven sakes . . . it's not etched in stone you have to drink all those things you don't want too.

I go in phases. Sometimes I'm drinking Water like a camel and the next week I'll be so sick of it and wanting something else.

I've ended up growing to absolutely LOATHE the SF powder mix ins for Water like crystal light, etc. I do like Minute Maid Light Lemonade (for a small glass try adding a tsp of grenadine or other bar flavoring like cherry or blueberry!), Fuze Slenderize, Sobe Lifewater is alright, and home brewed ice tea. I've been wanting a "sweet drink" lately so rather than reaching for a coke, I'm adding a packet or 2 of equal to my glass of tea and it's doing the trick. Also, gatorade has 1/2 cal 1/2 sugar gatorade that isn't too shabby. I get the tiny bottles of our store brand version and 4-8oz of that isn't too bad.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
