Any tips on what to drink besides water and suger free koolaid?



Recommended Posts

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!

Im 6 days postop but aside from what u already drink, i do Protein shakes and well i think we are pretty much stuck with the Water and koolaid. Another thing i tried n like it alot is the propel strawberry kiwi packets for ur Water. Not sure if u can do apple juice? Ive seen people say they can but it wasnt suggested to me...

Summer time..My favorites right now.....

Mix Crystal light sweet tea & Chrystal light blackberry lemonade together in Water and Ice. I have even added a few fresh blackberries to my glass.

Lime juice, Water, Lots of ice, Stevia and fresh mint mixed with water..Garnish with slices of lime....Virgin Mojito

Great value tropical pineapple coconut lime.

If you want to get some Protein in with your water- Isopure makes flavored water. Sample it first to see if you like it.

Snapple makes a few great sugar free choices! Also, have you considered just adding some fruit or veggie slices yo your Water? Here are a few of my favorite combos-

strawberry and cucumber slices

Peach slices with a pinch of ginger

Honey dew melon and lime slices

Carro slices and some blueberries with a pinch of coriander.

Use your imagination! Your choices are limitless! And don't forget the spice cabinet. You can really create some wonderful flavors

      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.
