For the last year, I was/am a Red Bull junkie. I started with the regular 8 oz. Red Bull. Six+ months ago I switched to sugar free RB. Now, I usually have one (never more than one) TOTAL ZERO red bull a day. I also was an iced coffee or iced tea junkie. I totally stopped iced coffee's all together. I switched from regular iced tea to a local brand of Southern Brew Diet Black Tea (details below). I do not drink any soda or any other "juices", etc. I do have skim milk for Cereal, etc. I need to find a drink that is okay to drink and is allowed.

Any suggestions??

Details:

Ingredients: Black Tea, Aspartame*, Maltodextrin, Citric Acid. *Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine.

Hello :)

Healthy alternatives:

Crystal Lite (or similar brand)...great way to get your Water in if you find Water too bland

Unsweetened Ice Tea (add sugar substitutes if you have a preference)

I have hot tea and coffee all the time and mine always have milk/sugar (Sweet & Low). However, if you are a cold drinker...make your fav iced coffees at home so you can control the indgredients to keep cals/fat/sugar low. Try to make this a treat because as diuretics this should not be considered water intake.

Water is the best drink you can give your body. Find something to put in your Water like MIO that is calorie free. Crystal light still has calories and I would rather eat my calories then drink them.

      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.

      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!
