Everything is either too sweet (crystal light, Powerade, propel, Gatorade, etc) or too sour! (Infusing with fruits) so I have been drinking nothing but watered down apple juice! Though, I'm not okay with the sugar content. I tried drinking normal Water, but it tastes disgusting. Either like dirt, or plastic, or metallic. It's very disheartening because I used to down a little over a gallon a day!

What are some ways you get your fluids in? I've tried syntax nectar and other Proteins that you can put in water, but it's too sweet.

I mix my Crystal Light with 25oz of Water instead of the 16.9oz recommended on the package. I find this waters it down enough to not be too sweet for me. I am also drinking the Isopure zero carb fruity drinks. Similar to Gatorade, but with 40 grams of protein!

I love Stash Raspberry Hibiscus tea. It's tart and flavorful and hits all the right notes for me. I drink it all day long.

I dilute some apple peach juicy juice(4oz) in 12oz Water with ice in a cup I got in hospital a week ago for my sleeve surgery,it has all measurements on outside of cup, I'm doing well with this and it just mixes up my Fluid intake, hope this helps.

      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.
