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 tried the Isopure & I can't stomach it at all. I used to love them!!

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.

      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.
