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.

Nutrition Facts: Total Fat 0g, Saturated Fat 0g, Trans Fat 0g, Calories 0, Cholesterol 0mg, Sodium 0mg, Total Carbohydrate <1g, Dietary Fiber 0g, Sugars less than 1g, Protein less than 1g per serving size of 1 cup.

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.

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
