I'm officially two weeks post-op as of 11/7/13.

I'm struggling with finding things that are low calorie/low sugar to drink.

I understand Water with crystal light, but I've gotten sick of the taste.

I've also drank my share of zero calorie/sugar sports drinks.< /p>

Any suggestions?

Maybe if you like hot chocolate, there is Swiss Miss Sensible Sweets Diet Hot Cocoa mix for 25 calories per serving.

I've done hot chocolate once or twice, but I'm looking for cooler beverages.

Thank you for input, though. C:

I don't know if these are low calorie but there's Tomato or V-8 juice and skim milk...

I love Sobe Life Water - zero calories and they come in 20 ounce bottles so 2 a day plus tea and plain water helps me reach my water goals. costco has a 12 pack at reasonable price.

Thing is, Water is making me sick.

Both in taste and in my stomach.

I forgot to mention I am 2 weeks and 3 days out so we are almost surgery twins :) LOL Getting the fluids in is definitely one of my bigger struggles.

I've been forcing myself to drink fluids, usually getting around 40 oz a day.

I just would like to get the recommended 64 oz.

Congrats on getting sugery. Hopefully it'll benefit you in the long run, and you'll be happier and healthier as a result. :)

Diluted apple juice....I find it is much easier to drink than plain Water

Can't have apple juice. It causes kidney stones and I can be very prone to them.

Thank you for the suggestion. I appreciate it. ^^

I developed an aversion to regular Water post surgery. For me, the life saver was herbal teas. I have never been a big tea drinker, but the herbal teas are not made from black or green tea leaves, but rather other herbs and spices. I find them to be warming, tummy soothing and all around a great supplement to the sweet cool drinks,

Some of my favorites:

Celestialseasonings - Safari Spice Rooibos Tea

Celestialseasonings - Sleepy Time

Yogi - Get Regular

I like many others too - licorice, several of the rooibos based ones etc.

Aside from Water, the only other thing I drink is Diet Peak Tea (found in the refrigerated section at the store) with a packet of True Lemon. It's delish!

ETA: This is the brand http://www.goldpeaktea.com/Flavors#/diet. The diet tea can be hard to find, but Walmart and Super Target carry it. Kroger is hit or miss.

They have smaller bottles that are not refrigerated, but they have a weird flavor that I don't like.

      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.
