I got tired of it too and just switched to G2 (gatoraide). The lemon-lime is the best so far. I freeze the bottles bcs I think it tastes better as a 'slushy.' What i do is freeze a half full bottle. Then i'll top the bottle with cold lemon-lime & shake & wait. In less than 5 minutes i've got a slushy mix.

any thing that is nearly calorie free and sugar free... should be caffeine free too

I drink Decaf tea and g2.

I can't drink the sweeter stuff like crystal light.

There are a few Vitamin waters that are ok but check the ingredients, not all are 0 sugar.

I was a hard core diet cherry Pepsi drinker before the sleeve. Now I drink the diet snapple half and half with only 10 calories and only 1 carb.

Why is that when I drink a lot of plain Water, I get nauseous, but I can drink the same amount of G2, and I'm fine? I feel that drinking 2-32oz G2s per day is too many carbs, but I can hardly finish 2 bottles of water without getting nauseous. I'm not drinking them fast, so I don't get it.

QUESTION? Is it okay to add Peanut Butter and/or banana into Protein Shake for extra Protein during the 2 week liquid diet, as long as its liquified?

There is actual something called 'water nausea'. Do a search on here for it. Something to do w Water being heavier or something? I was sleeved 8/21 and just noticed this week that i am starting to tolerate water again. :-)

I was not able to drink Water because it made me nauseous... Water is still hard for me and I'm 2 months out... But I find that hot water w/ a packet of splenda is how I can get more water in.

Yes G2 has too many carbs. Powerade zero has less than 1g of carbs per 12oz serving. No sugar and no calories.

Vitamin Water zero & Sobe Life Water.

Both are 0 carb/calorie. And they are naturally sweetened. No artificial sweeteners.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
