What drinks do you like after surgery.

coffee

Lattes

Juices

I'm getting bored of Water but don't want to get soda and I hear orange juice is bad

Did your doctor not tell you that you shouldn't have any carbonated drinks? It isn't a matter of "wanting sodas" vs it would be nuts to try to drink it right now so soon after surgery.

As long as it doesn't have caffeine, is zero/very low calories, and isn't carbonated there are a good amount of options. My staples were Powerade Zero, Propel waters, Crystal Light (actually the Walmart Great Value equivalent), and diet cranberry juice (the Ocean Spray one that is only like 5 calories). I would mix the cranberry juice in with my Crystal Light. For example I'd do a glass that was 80% CL and 20% cranberry juice.

The good thing with the Crystal Light products is that you can also mix up the packets. I'd take one grape and mix it with a berry pomegranate, or a watermelon with a strawberry. Gives you a bit more variety on flavors.

      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.
