Suggestions for drinks (non alcoholic)



Recommended Posts

I'm on my third week and feeling good. I've been reaching my Water intake goal but was wondering other than adding crystal light what other beverages can I have. I used to be a Coke drinker for decades but none at all since surgery. Thank you for your suggestions.

I've been drinking flavored Water called Nestle Splash. It is not carbonated and no calories and comes in several flavors. I do add more plain Water to mine because they do taste sweet! I also put a splash of G2 in my regular water to give it a flavor as well. Hope this helps!

@@carlacv There are quite a few no calorie beverages to try. I've liked the BAI brand flavored waters, their coconut waters are good too! The nestle splash is another good one and I love Arizona green tea.. zero calorie zero caffeine! I'd avoid anything that is carbonated!

I did Powerade Zero and Water for the first couple of weeks. When I finished the 24-pack of Powerade Zero that I got at Sam's Club, I started brewing Lipton Decaf Iced Tea, and I have been having that ever since. It seems more "normal" to me (outside the caffeine).

I drink a lot of hot herbal tea when the weather is cooler, too.

You can slice cucumber slices thin and flavor your Water. I also use fresh mint.you can make a pitcher and refrigerate or make it in single glass. I keep a pitcher of filtered water in the fridge. I especially like it with lemon and lime slices. A you can refill the pitcher for a few days before replacing the fruits.

      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.
