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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
