Chick fil a diet lemonade is my favorite right now. It takes me a while to drink a medium but their cups keep it cold.

Instead of tea I buy a piece of fresh ginger. Slice into thin strips, cover it and dry it out at 30 second intervals in the microwave then leave it out on paper towel overnight. Then pack into a sealed container. I then add 2 or 3 slices to hot Water, very refreshing and taste's great

Thanks to all. I drank a Powerade zero and feel energetic and hydrated. Also a v8 rehydration small drink. And 32 oz Water. Great mix for me. Thanks again!

In addition to what everyone says, I also like diet Fuze iced tea. It comes in cans (not carbonated) and bottles.

When I go into a convience store or even a grocery store I'm challenged by the choices. I'm 5 weeks out today and the dieticians or NUTs as some of you refer to them as(lol) , don't offer very much help other than "stick to the plan" we gave you. The plan calls for Water or sugerfree packets in Water. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Powerade Zero

Crystal light sugar free

wylers sugar free drink packets

propel water

Arizona green tea zero is quite yummy. It does have caffeine so you'll have to up your Water intake a bit. But if you only have one about every day or every other day it should be okay. I only drink about half a can a day.

I'm grabbing drinks at convenience stores all the time....Vitamin Water, Life water, Milk, Bai 5 and/or G2 are always available. In the grocery store I get any of the previous mentioned as well as Premier Protein, sweet leaf water drops, Arizona water enhancers, almond milk, coconut milk, Decaf herbal tea and coconut water.

I'm from Texas so I live on sweet tea, of course it's Decaf and sweetened with Stevia but it works. I also do one Isopure a day. And, I never and I mean never leave home without a cup and some flavor packs. Not just CL either anything sugar free will do, I found A&W root beer flavored the other day. That way when we stop for drinks or gas I can get ice and a Water or if I'm feeling really fancy a diet lemonade from the fountain drinks. As crazy as it sounds I also only go to big convenience stores like truck stops because there is always more options.

      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.
