I've drank Crystal Light lemonade for years. And was drinking it the day I returned from the hospital. Never had a problem with it. But don't get me started on sugar free Popsicles! Frankensleeve never liked those!

What don't you like about sugar free pops? I have one every day for my 'dessert' if you want to call it that

I drink about 80-100 oz a day 3 weeks after surgery and about 90% of what I drink is crystal light, but I only use one packet per gallon compared to the recommended two packets. It makes it taste not like Water but not too sweet.

I"m pre-op so I haven't hit that taste changing phenomenon.

I do like Crystal Light in most every flavor that I've tried.

I notice that there is a wide, wide range in sweetness in the various flavors. Their grape is awesome.....I really enjoy it.....but its much sweeter than other version. I loaded up this week when the local BiLo store had Crystal Light on sale. I looked like a Crystal Light fiend when I hit the checkout line. :P

I haven't had any taste changes at all. Don't know why. But I haven't tried much 'bad' yet. Had a bite of cake today. It was good. Bite of a donut it was good. I think I like salmon now. But nothing major.

I like sugar free pops. Frankensleeve didn't like them. Something about the artificial sweeter sent him into fits during those 1st weeks post-op. He grew to like them, but it was a rough trip. :-)

I like Grape, Cherry, strawberry,.... but always go back to Lemonade flavor.

This week I found Jolly Rancher sugar free drink mix. It comes in Watermelon, Cherry, and Green Apple.

They taste great. I would say they taste like their candy counterparts,

but I haven't eaten a Jolly Rancher candy in years.

Now if only they would make the grape flavor in sugar free powder.

I found the Jolly Rancher sodas in grape (years ago) and they taste sooooo good.

But I gave them up because of the sugar.

I"m pre-op so I haven't hit that taste changing phenomenon.

I just tried the crystal lite pure strawberry kiwi.... It has a really funny after taste. I don't suggest it. I'm pre op.

I bought the Jolley Rancher packets as well and they do indeed taste like the candy (from what I remember!). They're kind of fun.????

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
