Juices will have sugar, we were to dilute them wth Water. I drank the low calorie, no added sugar white grape juice.

I know it's against the rules but I couldn't get my liquid in without a straw. I don't have any issues using one.

The hospital gave me Oceanspray Diet Cranberry, so I imagine that is acceptable? Crystal Light is really good too.

I do MIO drops......I like the lemonade flavor best but they have a bunch of good flavors. I don't drink any fruit juices.

There are some 50% reduced calorie juices that seem to rely on dilution with Water, they still taste pretty good. And even some 5-calorie juices that are sweetened with eg. nutrasweet.

There are also some unsweetened green iced teas out there that are pretty good, from e.g. Trader Joe's and Pure Leaf.

And if you don't mind a bit of work, you can steep thin-sliced lemon, lime or orange slices in a pitcher of bulk spring Water in the fridge - the fruit taste is light but all natural and you get the citrus oils from the peel in there too - tastes great with the spring water! http://www.eat-yourself-skinny.com/2012/05/lemon-water-with-fresh-mint.html

My plan allows for fruit juices diluted 50% with Water - though they did limit us to only 6 oz of Fluid that way.

That's what I am having as well. Seems to go down better than Water.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
