Depending on your team of course, but I had Powerade zero! I use the 32 oz bottles, and that helps motivate me! There are lots of Water enhancers like Crystal Light out there too.

I use all sorts of things. Crystal light, mio, lemon, lime, caffeine-free teas for iced-tea, frozen berries, Orange slices or few chunks of frozen watermelon in plain Water with a few mint leaves is very refreshing. Celestial seasonings makes a ton of caffeine free teas. Just make a pitcher and add ice it's great.

Your Fluid requirements can be met in several ways other than just plain Water. Crystal Light is one of them. Milk qualifies. The liquid component in Soups count. Also the liquid in Protein shakes count. So do tea and Decaf coffee.

      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.
