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.

        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
