Ok so i have been drinking fat free or skim milk since surgery. I just realized it has 12g sugar per serving. Ugh. Doesn't make me sick but my weight loss has slowed down. What do you all drink?

Have you tried Fairlife Milk? It is lower in sugar. That might be an option.

Oh! It never occurred to me to read the label on fat free milk!! I don't drink milk but I use it when making scrambled eggs every morning and in a few other recipes.

I drink mostly Water. But some days I just get sick of Water. Crystal light is a good option for me. Have you looked into any of the almond milks or soy milks? Do they have fat free options? I wonder what their sugar content is.

I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk in my coffee. 30 calories per cup, little sugar.

I second the recommendation for Fairlife milk. It's ultra-filtered to have fewer carbs/less sugar and more Protein.< /p>

Another vote for Fairlife! It's got more Protein and less sugar than traditional skim milk. Of course it's going to have some sugar- all dairy products do.

I do prefer it over almond or coconut milk at this point because I usually need those 13g of Protein to put me into the desired range.

Fairlife's marketing team is really missing an opportunity... we should all be in a commercial! :D

I like almond milk but prefer the taste of Fairlife.

Fair life all the way for me (Lucerne Protein Plus is the same product by a different company).

My problem with the almond, cashew, etc milks is the Protein is negligible.

      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.
