Hi Everyone! I'm new. I had my sleeve done on Nov. 9th. I've finally got to the point where it doesn't hurt to drink bigger than a sip but am not getting all my Water in yet. I drink Water and Crystal Lite. I've always liked plain water just fine, but lately have been wishing there was something else. I'm picky; don't care for coffee or tea. I'm a recovering soda fiend. Lol I wish there was something I could drink that would take away the after tastes of all those vitamins! Does anyone have any ideas or am I just out of luck?

I like some of the Ocean Spray diet cranberry drinks, like diet cran-lemonade, diet cran-pomegranate, and diet cran-mango.

G2 and Powerade Zero were go-to's for me as well.

I bought a few Isopure drinks but I think they tasted horrible. I just had a coupon for the Atkins Lift Protein drinks (they're clear like a Gatorade) so I bought a 4 pack of the berry - they're also sweet but much better than the Isopures. 20 grams of Protein - the bottle is as big as a regular sized Water bottle.

If you're looking for something that tastes like a "meal" then try making homemade chicken broth in the crockpot. Super easy and tastes just like chicken Soup but strained. Look for the recipe on Allrecipes.com

I second the Atkins Lift drinks, they are pretty tasty! I do try to stick to Isopure though. The grape and blueberry aren't too bad to me.

I just slice up lemons, limes, cucumbers sometimes fresh pineapple and make infused Water. I make 64 oz every evening for the next day. Cucumber (mash it up a bit), mint and lemon is my current favorite. Pomegranate is pretty good (you do have to crush the seeds)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
