Sugar free, carbonation free drinks

There's not many out there. Sometimes at a restaurant when I don't want Water, I can get Light Pink Lemonade but what else is there? Unsweetened tea I guess.

Is it weird if I get a water and add Crystal Light to it?

What do you drink when you don't want water?

In restaurants I just order Water and then don't drink it.

@Tssiemer1 WHEN I GO OUT I WILL TAKE A PACK OF CYRSTAL LIGHT WITH ME AND ADD IT TO THE Water. IVE NEVER HAD ANYONE LOOK AT ME FUNNY OR SAY ANYTHING. iVE ALSO SEEN A LADY I WORK WITH ORDER Water AND ABOUT 6 LEMON PIECES ADD SPLENDA AND MAKE HER OWN VERSION OF LEMONAID . I DO NOT DRINK WHILE I EAT BUT I DO GO TO RESTAURANTS AND NOT EAT ONLY DRINK. ( LIKE WHEN OTHERS ARE HUNGRY BUT I AM NOT. ) AND ITS NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING OTHER THAN WATER TO DRINK.

Sorry I was not clear. I go out with my friends or co workers and have a Protein Shake before and order nothing at all. I'm pre op. Those Protein Shakes make me very thirsty though.

I like Crystal Light but most times just drink Water. I cut out all caffeine too so don't do tea or coffee.< /p>

I don't drink when I eat...ever. I still wait the 30 mins before and after BUT when I do drink anything it's always Water with flavor drops added or coffee. That's It. I'm boring. Oh and sometimes sugarless tea. :) not much help huh?!

I love lemon Water but if I didn't I would bring my own drink and ask for a glass of ice. My favorite flavored water is sparkling ice.

@@Veronica_mm I drink fully caffeinated coffee, but you should check with your own medical team for their instructions. There is no wls-wide standard advice when it comes to coffee and tea.

I see nothing wrong with adding crystal light to your drink. I carry mine in my purse at all times. If anyone questions you just explain. I am sure they would understand.

      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!
