What are you drinking?



Recommended Posts

What's wrong with good, old fashioned Water? I love it! I have noticed though, that post-op, it has to be ICE cold (with ice literally floating in it) for me to drink it. Anything any warmer than that sits very heavy in my stomach, unless it's an actual hot beverage, like coffee or tea.

I am drinking probably 70 oz of Water a day.... Crystal light is so sweet is grosses me out kind of and I hate coffee and tea.... I am really missing my Coke Zero. Any great drink options I am overlooking??

My husband loves the sweet Peach Tea Crystal Light, gag! I make it half the strength of his, but discovered Dasani sugar free drops, and with a tiny squirt of Coconut pineapple, loving it.

Funny, I have a hard time with ice water or very cold drinks. Has to be room temperature.

I was a gallon a day coke zero addict for five years. I swapped, per my nutritionist advice, to Crystal light lemonade with great success. He said the tart flavor satisfies the "bite" of coke zero I the tongue. So far so good

My tastes changed and I can't drink plain Water anymore...Lately I've been drinking Vitamin Water Zero (Acai-Blue berry-Pomegranate is my fave) I tried the add ins but so far they all give me even worse indigestion. I'm hoping that goes away.

Water is only my friend 1/2 the time and that's HUGE progress at three years out. For my first two, Water didn't work at all.

I do drink Coke Zero, but with my doctor's permission and I am over 3 years out.

I drank Gatorade mixed with water (I hate g2), crystal light, iced coffee...

      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.
