Well, I only have one drink right now that feels refreshing--iced Passion Tango herbal tea from Starbucks w/ a couple of Splenda. I really miss Diet Ginger Ale--it was the only soda j drank. Does anyone have a really cold & refreshing drink recommendation??

Try infusing Water with fruits and herbs.

Some options:

Cucumber

Apple and ginger

Pear and ginger

Lemon

I also love herb infusions (aka herb tea). I like iced green tea with mint.

I second this - if you have a wide-mouth bottle or pitcher, thin slice a lemon or a lime or an orange (lemon is a good one to try first!) and mix it up with bulk spring Water and let steep in the fridge for at least a few hours. You get not only the flavor from the juice of the fruit flesh, but also the more subtle flavors coming from the citrus zest - e.g. lemon oils.

Diet Snapple K-cups..........lemonade tea version.

Grab a large cup and fill with ice.....put it in the Keurig and drop in one of these K-cups and let the magic happen.

Calorie free and full of excellent flavor.

Crystal Light Ice Tea! I find full strength is too sweet, so I Water it down by making a 2-quart packet in a 3-quart jug and keep keep one jug at work and one at home. Then I bought 24-oz Tervis tumblers (plus handles) for home and work, and drink at least three tumblers of the tea every day – one between Breakfast and lunch, one between lunch and dinner, and one in the evening. Very refreshing, and that alone is 72 ounces of Fluid. Any other fluids like coffee, hot tea, or cocoa are gravy. And if I count my Protein shakes as fluids, I get about 120 ounces of fluids per day. Been doing this for over 18 months, and I never get tired of it!

      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.
