I'm so sick of water



Recommended Posts

Gatorade doesn't have carbonation^. The only reason it would be bad is the empty calories. Try G2 it is actually on my Dr. approved list of things to drink.

You know I once read on this site that someone had tried the coke flavored icee drink that you get at convenience stores. That might satisfy the craving ( not sure how much carbonation is left in it after the process) I am also pretty sure it has calories, but maybe it will be one and done. Lucky for me the carbonation demon left me during my pre-op stage when I was told to stop drinking sodas etc.

There is great controversy right now that the combination of ingredients and sweeteners in G2 is not good for us, especially those on diets, but I also had it approved on my surgeon's list, maybe I'm just over cautious now because I look at everything I put in me now? Oh well Powerade, and Propel work just as well

I am very curious what the problem ingredients in G2 are purported to be. It is just a reduced calorie version of Gatorade with artificial sweeteners replacing some of the regular sugars. I don't see what the big deal is.

I have been drinking Bai5 Antioxidant Infusions. 10 Cals per bottle, 2 Net Carbs per serving. It is made with coffeefruit, the fruit around a coffee bean. Has about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of green tea. I buy by the case at costco.

I have found that I drink more Water if it is very cold. I fill Water bottles 2/3 full and keep them in the freezer, taking them out a couple a day. I also put lime slices in water. I usually use crystal light lemonade or pink lemonade at about half strength.

My favorite is thin cucumber slices in a pitcher of ice Water. I can easily drink a lot of water that way.

I love infused Water (water with strawberries, lemons, blueberries, cucumber, mint, you can try any variation!).

I also like some sugar free kool aid once in awhile, breaks up the monotony.. You can get the little ones that you spray into your Water and mix..

Iced tea is another favorite.

I mostly drink plain water, and very VERY cold.. always have.. but sometimes just a little of these things helps.

Ok, I haven't tried this yet, but I was in the dr office for my 6 week follow-up today and I was talking to a patient who is 1 year out RNY. She told me she makes a good shake with the Premier Protein vanilla, 1/2 banana, ice and Orange Crush liquid Water Enhancer (Found at Walmart). I can't have the banana just yet (and not sure you can either), but it made me think I wanted to post this new find. I am sure it would be good just plain in your Water too. They also have Grape and strawberry. It does have sucralose (Splenda I think). Just thought I would pass this on...

      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
