"South Beach Living on the go" Drink mix



Recommended Posts

I have found something very, very tasty and I have not seen it anywhere here on the board. Please don't get me wrong,it may be mentioned here, I just haven't seen it.

"South Beach Living on the go" It's the little packets you add to Water to flavor em. I really like these best because they are made to go in a 16.9 bottle, not 20 ( I buy water by the case and it always seems to be 16.9) It has an awesome taste (I am drinking Strawberry/Banana right now) and it has Protein (this flavor has 3 gm) granted it's not a ton but it's a bonus when ya gotta get your water in daily! ~L~ :biggrin:

I have seen the Special K Water, do they come in packets also or just pre-bottled? Bariatic advantage sounds intetesting too! TY

As for being hungry Monica, I am sure it is the Protein that helps with that but I have yet to be hungry since having my band on. I am sure it's coming :)

Thank-You ma'am !

I am going to go Oprah on you :) even thought Ma'am is a sign of respect - us 50 yrs olds don't think of ourselves as old (you know the new 30's) we think of women our MOTHERS AGE as Ma'am....

But you are welcome :biggrin:

Back with a review of the tropical flavor:

Not horrendous, but not what I'd like to drink every day, honestly. Now, take into account that I'm pretty darn sensitive to the taste of artificial sweeteners. This stuff is SWEET. Way, way too sweet for me. The fruity flavor otherwise isn't terrible. It's not got as strong an "artificial sweetener" flavor to it as it could have, since it's sweetened with aspartame instead of Splenda, but still very much oversweetened. I might be able to drink it if I dilute it, maybe put 1/2 packet in instead of 1 packet per bottle. But then it would only be worth 3 grams of Protein per 32 ounces, so I'm not sure that's worth the price of a box of 7 packets. BUT, if you can't drink regular, unflavored Water and you like drinks like Crystal Lite, you'd probably love this stuff. Personally, I've drunk about 1/4 bottle of it, and I'm about to pour the rest out and get some plain Water.< /p>

      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.
