Lime water? What do you drink?



Recommended Posts

My nutritionist said I can't have lime, oranges, or anything acidic for a couple of months. I'm currently 2 weeks sleeved and I just can't have Water alone. I mean I can but I'm a big water with lime kind of person. I have Gatorade so any drinks that you recommend that I can drink? Did your doctors approve of lime water?

I have tried any but what about the zero calorie Water additives? Mio and the like.

I'm over here crying because lemons are a daily occurrence in my life!

I was off citrus for a bit because of the acid & the healing tummy. It wasn't too bad, and I am a lime Water girl myself. HATE plain Water. Because I was forced to try new things I found that I really like the Powerade Zero (blue) drops, and the Mio lemon-lime drops. I also drink a lot of Hint water and SoBe waters as well for a variety. Now that I am far enough out I can have the citrus again, but I find I don't use it as much as I used to.

      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.
