Just wanted to ask what flavor of crystal light is least irritating for early post op. I prefer lemonade or pink lemonade but not sure if it would irritate the sleeve (although it probably doesn't contain actual lemons).

I have been drinking the Crystal light brand Hawiian Punch and the pink lemonade, haven't had any trouble with either. But everyone is a little different. I'm only 7 days out post op right now. I stated drinking crystal light about 4 days post op.

I am 6 weeks post-op and I am addicted to Crystal Light with Unflavored unjury Protein powder!!

My favorite (this week) is Raspberry Lemonade.

You said you preferred the lemonade varieties--YES! I found that was the flavor that "settled" the best in my very nauseous state post-op while still in the hospital. It was recommended by my NUT who said that the tartness of the lemonade took down the VERY OVERWHELMINGLY sweet taste of EVERYTHING!! Worked very well!

Best of luck to you!!

I love the peach Ice tea.

Peach tea is all I have liked so far. I loved all of them pre-opt though.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
