I pretty much stick to Water, crystal lite, and Fairlite milk.

I pretty much drink my Protein Shake and Water. Every now and then i drink Crystal light. But it is all I can do to get all of my liquids in, so If I try to drink too many things, it just gets to be too much

I drink majority Water (80 oz plus some each day). If I need a change I will have an occasional coffee (fully caffeinated with fat free Creamer and half a packet of sweet n low), an unsweetened green tea (starbuck's or I make my own), or once maybe every month or so a tiny bit of orange juice (less than 4 oz). I can't do crystal light, but wil squeeze lemon into my water once in a great while. Milk, only almond for me and I don't drink it straight.

The only thing I ever drink is Water with the exception of my 1 premier Protein shake per day.

The only Water acceptable to me however is spring water. Every other kind tastes dusty to me. LOL

I buy it in bulk from costco fairly cheap.

On a daily basis I drink one Protein Shake made with Fairlife milk (13g of protein), then unsweetened iced tea and I just recently discovered a couple flavors of Sobe that I enjoy!

Other than Water

Iced coffee w/ half & half and SF sweeteners

Iced tea w/ SF sweetener

I brew my own Black and Passion Tea (saves money in Starbucks runs)

I cold steep tea bags and mix them with crystal light lemonade. Lipton peach green tea steeped in iced Water with crystal light lemonade is fantastic.

Sometimes I drink chocolate premier Protein when I'm replacing a meal.

Crystal Light

Trop50 orange juice diluted with water + a scoop of unflavored Protein is a pretty standard Breakfast drink for me.

But I still try to get in half a gallon or so of water. I usually can't but then some days I can.

Decaf green tea. I buy different flavors from Republic of Teas. I love the Ginger Peach. I usually steep it for a minute in hot Water then pour it over ice and add Water. I also like Orange Crush Water Enhancer (stick of powder like Crystal Light). Powerade Zero occasionally. Sometimes I squirt a little lime juice in my water but yea I am definitely sick of water....

Lots of folks using fair life milk. I considered it for the Protein content but seem to recall a lot of carbs. Anyone concerned about that?

Spring water.. I have always always been a huge fan of Water. I tried crystal light and didn't care for it at all. On Drs orders a drank a bottle of Powerade zero until I could get in required amount of water daily. It sure didn't take me long I hated that stuff.. I have never cared for tea the only thing I miss is my daily coffee.< /p>

I love finding a great decaf tea! I brew them and then drink them over ice. It has been a Godsend.

Aside from that OP, I drink Vitaminwater Zero, Hint Water and sometimes I'll get a decaf iced coffee with a splash of cream and some splenda.

Here is some more information on both the Vitaminwater and the Hint water:

The Hint Water and the Vitaminwater can be found in many grocery stores. Hint water comes in soo many flavors, I am sure you will find something you like. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
