Favorite post op drink?



Recommended Posts

What is your favorite post op liquid? You know, the one that you can drink all day and not be sick of the flavor. I finally found a good one. I like to drink Desani Pink Lemondade mixed with Water and had my wife buy out the supply at the grocery store the other day. How about you?

I love the Ocean Spray Cran-Cherry Limeade flavor packets! Very good! I haven't tried the Dasani....

I am a sucker for Celestial Seasonings blueberry tea or berry zinger tea. I also just discovered that Lipton is now making a diet green tea without that awful citrus flavor. Granted, they're still sweetening the green tea (which ruins the taste) but it's not bad if I pretend it's not real green tea.

I gotta try that because I have tried almost everything else and can't get passed the after taste.

Best one I have like out the of bunch was also pink lemonade, although it was crystal light brand.

Tried the costco green tea from Lipton and it seems to have the aftertaste in my mouth. That was during month 3. Maybe it will taste better now that Water in general is tasting better now for me.

Yes, agree. A lot of Water enhancers out there have a bad aftertaste. For me that has been crystal light and Mio. They may taste ok at first, but then really get weird if drinking them all day. Ocean spray is pretty good. Desani is the only one I have found I can tolerate drink after drink during the day. However, I am looking for other alternatives. Hence, the motivation behind this post. There is also another Desani I like that is pineapple / coconut flavor ( like a piña colada). However, be warned: I have found that Desani strawberry kiwi gets to me after a while as too sticky syrupy. The pink lemonade is actually very clean tasting and refreshing.

Yes, I like those on occasions when I want the extra energy from the added caffeine. I can't drink them all day though. I am thinking about the Mio energy flavors with electrolytes and caffeine. Are those the ones you are talking about?

I have never seen the desani brand where I shop... were are you buying them from. I have also heard good things about the pineapple/coconut flavor in another thread.

Anything that tastes like pina colada can't be all bad!

I buy them from Target, not sure where you would find them in Canada. If you cannot find them at a grocery store, drive down to Bellingham, WA for some or order online at Amazon.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
