Thanks for letting me know. Sounds like a bad idea.

I eat natural, no sugar added mandarin oranges without a problem. Maybe you could try them.

I'm 6 weeks out and have lost 28. I'm a slow loser but 9 to lose to onederland. If it weren't for the stall' date=' I would have hit it before next surgery, Jan 31. That was my goal. But oh well, need a new goal now.

Found this at the store. It's like a flavored water but better. Only 1 gram of sugar and 10 cal. It taste so good. Anyone else drink these? Good morning friends :)

Great find sammi! I would have never thought of fuze. Figured they had too much sugar. Is it like Water or juice? I have only had the peach/mango kind. Well before wls anyways.

Hmm I think it taste like juice! Also I have a question I really want grape juice. It has sugar but if I get a no added sugar 100% juice is that sugar okay? fruit just has sugar in it.... Thoughts? Does anyone drink juice?

My nut said only drink juice occasionally because you don't want to drink all your calories. I can tolerate the sugar in juice but some can not. My nut also suggested doing 1/2 Water and 1/2 juice to dilute it a bit and cut the calories. I still do that sometimes because some juices are really sweet to me!

Another post-op visit with Dr. Lahmann today. Can't wait to weigh! I try and wear very similar clothes each time so my weight is pretty accurate. Meeting up with friends at a restaurant afterwards for a birthday celebration. I think it will be a little overwhelming for me. food and drinks---- wasn't sure intially if I wanted to go...! First time out with friends since surgery.

      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.
