Try the Vitamin Water Zero. It comes in several flavors, I like the orange and lemonade. It's sweetened with stevia. I mix it half and half with water and it makes it easier to drink.

I got tired of plain Water very quickly but I found the zero calorie Koolaid drops in the grocery by all the water flavorings and it changed everything. With the kool-aid flavoring I can drink water all day long and it goes down so easy. I've tried all of the flavors but I like the cherry the best. Give it a try and it might help you.

V8 juice is good, but it has 110 calories. I have done well with Truade lemonade,0 calories or Minute Maid lemonade with 15 calories. I also like green tea super fruit hot.

What stage are you at? If you're full liquids, I'd say go for it, but otherwise I'd leave it be. The calories don't contribute enough Protein to be worth it, IMHO.

I drank V8 and V8 fusion while on full liquids. Not huge amounts but some. I logged everything religiously in MyFitnessPal so did not go over my calorie and carb limits. They were on my list of approved drinks -- did your team give you a list?

Other things on my list were: G2, Powerade Zero, Water with Crystal Light or Mio added in, skim milk, light or diluted fruit juice, Decaf coffee and tea, broth, and low fat creamed Soups (any chunks had to be strained out).

      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.
