What can I drink after weight loss surgery?

[Francisco82 8]

I would like to know what can I drink besides Water and seltzer water (which I don't like). I used to drink soda and orange juice before my surgery.

You shouldn’t be drinking seltzer Water - no carbonated beverages! Are you post surgery? How many days/weeks/months are you post surgery?

My surgery was 24 days ago.

Stuff you can drink:

Very low calorie (less than 20 calories a cup) fruit juices. Look for the word "diet" and read the lable.

Water flavor enhancers like Mio. I was a soda drinker...and I love Mio.

Decaf coffee and tea. (one cup of regular is thought to be ok by most plans)

Herbal tea.

sugar free hot cider

I make my own hot cocoa by heating almond milk, cocoa powder, splenda and vanilla...use real milk if you'd rather.

Hot broth.

Ice water with lemon.

lemonade with splenda

Chrystal light

sugar free Kool Aid

Try the Mio...there are a million flavors. They have an orange tangerine that might work.

Also, give herbal teas a chance. Ginger lemon is awesome.

I drink propel when I get sick of regular Water.

Nestle makes a lightly flavored water as well that I like for a change.

I like Vitamin Water Zero. It’s sweetened with stevia. Not overly sweet.

I love Hint Water. Just enough fruit flavor to make it interesting without using artificial sweetener. The blackberry and the watermelon are particularly tasty but they are all good.

Almond milk is good. The 30 calorie a serving comes in vanilla to. I was told to stay away from liquid calories but at 30 calories a cup I’ll drink it once in a while.

Water is the best thing you can drink after surgery! I also really like infused water.

Crystal light too. But after surgery I hated it. I was all about my Water. Good luck!

Clear Premier Protein is also good.

Clear Premier Protein is also good.

I hate that drink. Lol! Idk it's the after taste but everyone taste buds are different. I half to drink it with more Water. I got the tropical punch not sure if there are more flavors. The premier shakes are better.

My surgeon wants full (or at least half) sugar drinks the first week since you aren't getting enough calories otherwise. So, I'll start juice and Gatorade todat.

Crazy how every doctor asks for different things. Sugar drinks the first week?! I'm shocked. Usually with the Soup calories should be enough and sipping on some protein@vsgnewguy. But hey, good luck.

Different doctors do all sorts of weirdness. My group had us carb load the day before surgery with like 36 ounces of white grape juice! But we didn't do sugar drinks after surgery.

We also had the infamous vanilla anchovy shakes....shiver! God, they were bad. LOL
