After surgery my taste buds changed dramatically. I found that I could not even drink the Water in the hospital because of a very strong taste of chlorine. Crystal Lite was something that I relied on for my Fluid requirements for the first year. After that I expanded to good English teas, coffee and no sugar added Cocoa.

I love the Wyler pink lemonade! It only $1 for an 8 pack. I've been struggling too but the best way I have been doing it is just making myself drink it and alternating (water, diet soda, Water, Powerade, etc) Soda and caffeine are going to be the hardest thing to give up!

Even filtered water?

I agree with the above posts! I have RTD Powerade Zero on hand for grab-b-go. Otherwise I have a nice stash of crystal light at work. My personal favorites are grape, lemonade and fruit punch. I also have used Mio's. The dollar tree in my area usually has some options too. I think I've seen the Crush flavors mentioned above.

I'm on like my 50th packet of pink lemonade from crystal light lol. I recently got Snapple sugar free peach tea packets and fruit punch. We'll see how it goes.

      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.
