My "go-to" when I'm tired of Water is Syntrax nectar protein- Fuzzy Navel and Strawbery Kiwi are my favs. If you add 12oz Water and lots of ice they aren't quite as sweet, the added bonus is getting a Protein boost.

Pre surgery loved Crystal Light and unsweetened iced tea, but I can barely drink them now.

Smart1997 Where do u get that from..... and you all will be proud i ffound a drink crystal light lemonade

I would go to syntrax's site http://www.si03.com/reg_index.htm and order a sample pack and see which ones you like. Then I buy the ginormous canister of the flavor I like on Amazon.com. I have an Amazon prime account so I get free two day shipping.

I like crystal light peach and mango or strawberry mio. The unsweetened ice tea from McDonald's is also good. Since small or large is $1 right now, I get large with 8 splenda and it lasts for a couple hours. Be careful about drinking too much crystal light or mio. If you drink it day after day for your liquid, the acid starts to build up and your throat feels like acid reflux (moderation should be ok). At least that is what happens to me. Therefore, I try and have a good variety of low cal or zero cal liquids when looking for 100+ oz of liquid a day.

Sure, take 12 ounce bag of vanilla coffee grinds and place in cheese cloth over a big tupperware or something u can out a cover on, then gradually add 6 cups of cold Water, make sure the grinds are covered in Water but still in the cheese cloth, cover with a lid and let it soak 12-15 hours. Then u can add ur favorite extract, I use vanilla lol and it's very vanilla. Use one tbsp or whatever u desire and add to the mixture after u strain the grinds. U may want to use another cheese cloth and restrain into a new bowl. (u can let it soak at room temp. , but refrigerate afterwards. Then to ice it I fill up a 20 ounce cup with one cup skim milk and 1/2 cup coffee mix, add my Splenda or sf Syrup and sip on my way to work. U can make any flavor u desire ;)

Sounds SO yummy, Susie. I loved coffee before being sleeved but I have only had a couple of sips so far. Do you use Decaf coffee? I have a Toddy maker ( a filtered pitcher for making coffee extracts) and I would love to try this and add vanilla Protein powder to it. Maybe once I start eating normal foods I will try some coffee again.

I use regular coffee, haven't tried it with Protein Powder but sounds like It would be delicious! It took me time to be able to take the acidity from coffee but now I'm ok with it. It replaces my soda that I do not miss ;)

I do kinda the same. I brew whatever flavor coffee i am feeling and put in fridge to cool and mix it with vanilla Protein powder and sometimes some skim, almond, or coconut milk. Poor over ice in my handy dandy drink bottle and go.

        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.

      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
