Does anyone use crystal light during the pre op diet?

I have another suggestion for something to flavor Water. It's called "True Lemon". It also comes in lime and orange. Check out the website: www.truelemon.com

It is made from crystallized juice and the oil from the peel. It comes in individual packets that will flavor 8 to 10 ounces of Water quite nicely, or you can buy a shaker of the lemon and lime, which I use to cook with...flavor veggies or meat.

There is no artificial sweeteners. It contains dextrose, citric acid, juice and oil, maltodextrin, and ascorbic acid.

0 calories, 0 carbs, 0 Protein, 0 fat, and they claim 0 sugar, but dextrose and maltodextrin are forms of sugar. Still one serving has less than 1 gram of carbs.

I also like Kellogg's Special K Protein powder.

Hi everyone,

I am on day 3 of pre-op liquiid diet and I just wanted to know if anyone knew if we could drink the Special K H20 Protein Water mix.

I drank one today and it was very filling. Just want to see if anyone has heard anything about this.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU! I JUST PRAY I CAN COMPLETE A WEEK ON MY DIET! I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO GET EASIER EVERY DAY BUT IT HASN'T YET! :cursing: HOPING IT WILL BY THE END OF THE WEEK! I GET MY BAND ON THE 28TH! CAN'T WAIT!!

      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.
