judy vsg 126 Posted October 2, 2016 Hi, all! I am almost 3 months post sleeve and i am having so much trouble getting in my fluids! I can't stand the taste of any artificial sweeteners, so no Powerade zero, no crystal lite, no Water enhancers... Plain water hurts my tummy. juice diluted with water is ok, but I'm not thrilled with the calories. The only thing that goes down well for me is Decaf coffee or ice coffee. Anyone else struggles with this? Any good ideas or solutions? My NUT recommended fruit infused water. Does that taste ok? Thanks in advance for your response and advice... make it a great day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
busybeebug 415 Posted October 2, 2016 G2 Gatorade is real sugar but reduced amounts. V8 juice Soups protien drinks (goes to your daily liquid intake ) pedialyte regular Popsicles I'm in the same boat with artificial sweeteners. It's a struggle Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted October 2, 2016 I had similar issues. I mixed Water and Gatorade 50/50. I didn't worry about the calories because I was getting so few. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaMergs 2,854 Posted October 2, 2016 My drink of choice. 5 flavors. All very good. This one- Lemonade- literally no Protein taste, tart enough, great success with it. I hate over sweet as well, and prefer non-dairy based drinks. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
