I'm here visiting my family and have just discovered crystal light. I'm having trouble drinking Water and need flavoring. So I added a sachet of it to a glass of Water. But it was way too sweet and strong.

So I'm going to experiment.

But what other food/drink products that are bariatric friendly.

I use a half sachet is almost 20 oz of water. It is indeed way too sweet otherwise. Mio drops are also good for flavoring water.

As to the rest of it, my preference is to eat real food rather than packaged so I may not be of much help here. But Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken, ground beef, fish like tilapia, salmon cod, shrimp (prawns), scallops, etc are all good options.

Love this but it IS (for me anyway) hard to find. I had to have my grocery story special order it (pretty easy to buy online tho...)

Anyway it is like adding a bit of squeezed lime to your Water. NO SWEET at all. If you buy the shaker jar (they sell packets too the size of a sugar or Splenda packet) it's too strong IMO. But a little shake of this in my Water makes me so happy!

You can purchase this on the real lemon website.

Mexican food like Beans (refried or charro or black beans), shredded chicken dishes, ground meat dishes, chicken fajitas. Just watch the fat content with too much cheese and avoid fried things.

Perfect thank you all for your suggestions. We went off to whole foods today and I got some oats for Breakfast and crackers for lunch. Just delicious.

      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!
