Favorite Things To Sip On!



Recommended Posts

I love me some apple juice. It's been on my "No" list for so long .. calories and carbs when I try not to drink any calories. I've been indulging lately because of my liquid diet, but I'm sure, soon I'll have to ditch the apples in favor of some more Atkins friendly drinks. :)

hmmmm, by the time I get my "breakfast" Protein finished, it's "lunch"...and well right now I'm 1/2 finished with the "dinner" one (16oz each)....this evening will be a Miralax coctail, lol! That's 55 ounces of liquid a day...that's cool, right? oh, and none are my favorite...just tolerable...hope it's okay, that my protiens are going in sippery slow...

I mix a full day's worth of Protein in the morning and drink on it all day. That way I'm sure I got it all in and it makes it not as bad. (Mostly because I can't quite take a whole serving (6oz) in one shot and if I mix one serving at a time I'll push it until I drink it (empty plate syndrome has followed me to liquids). I use a little 1 oz hurricane/fancy cup and pour the shake into it. So I can mentally finish the glass without having to finish the mixer.

Something tasty to add to your shakes is some instant coffee. You get kind of a latte/mocha going depending on your shake flavor (vanilla/chocolate) .. put it in a blender with some ice and you have a frappe :)

I like to cut the Simply Orange brand high pulp orange juice with Water and let it sit in the freezer until it gets slushie. It has helped me get my fluids in!

I've finally discovered no sugar added frozen fruit pops. Given I've been drinking fruit punch and grape drinks for weeks now...plus the Protein shakes...having a tangerine pop was heaven. I missed Citrus.

Diluted Minute Maid low-cal orange juice. I can't live without it and by the time it's diluted, it's only 25 calories a glass- plus it has calcium! Now if only I could find a non-creamy, orange flavored Protein to add to it!

I get the 32 oz Power-Ade Zero's. I drink one a day, and with my other drinks I know I'm over 64 oz's. I still have an aversion to drinking Water at 5 1/2 months post-op for some reason.

I can drink a glass of 3/4 Water and 1/4 of diet cranberry or diet cran grape. Diet snapple green tea is nice and I brew up Decaf tea and pour it over crushed ice with a half pack of Splenda.

When I need a " citrus" fix I make the sunrise orange crystal light and let it get to slushy point in the freezer.

Decaf hot tea with milk is my absolute fav. I can't drink cold stuff since surgery. It just doesn't go down well :-(

Water with mio in it and a good olds fashioned glass of milk. Those are my two favorite drinks.< /p>

I have been craving apple juice. I have been having trouble getting my liquids in so some watered down(melted ice) has been great at helping get my liquids in.

      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.
