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

Thanks I was going to ask where can i purchase but I clicked on link to GNC. I'll swing by there. Any other stores that you reccommend with Protein Snacks, e.g. Whole Foods.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
