I buy the crystal light on the go singles they are for a 20 oz glass of Water single servings ..I carry them in my purse and pour them in my water, they have lemonade, rasberry ice and peach ice tea. It makes it very easy to get my water intake in everyday. They are now available in the grocery stores in the koolaid/crystal light isle. Trpoicana also makes a sugar free fruit punch and orangeade in the can or bottle that have zero calories.

I do Water or milk (so I can get my 4 servings and it has protein) & carry those same little packets to add to water if it tastes nasty! (Walmart even makes a generic!) I also drink the low cal lemonade at mcDonalads or buy the minutemaid diet products (no carbination for taking to parties or traveling etc.The

I like a glass of wine but when it comes to alcohol I think carbonation is the issue as well as the calories consumed.

Okay, this is probably the reason my weight loss is slow. I do have a glass of wine some nights.

I was just on vacation for a week with a bunch of friends. we tend to drink, visit, play dice in the evenings. I did have a couple of beers. sometimes they work, sometimes they get thrown out after the first swallow. It does seem to reduce the carbonation if you add ice and/or Tomato juice.

Mostly, I drank margaritas or wine. Yes, its time to stop and return to band lifestyle!! I hurried home from vacation to start living a healthy lifestyle again.

Since I don't like sweet drinks, its Water or iced tea for me.

I love sugar free Tropicana Orange aid, light minutemaid lemonade and crystal light- but I drink Water the most- and iced tea if I need caffeine-

H20, H20, H20, but I still gotta have an iced, sugar free Hazelnut, skim, latte from Starbucks once/week or so......

I am getting better about drinking plain Water, I even bought a Water pitcher with the filter in the lid at Walmart yesterday. It is made by dupont and was a really good deal and the filters are pretty reasonable too. I drink 2 small bottles of propel a day, one in the morning and one while I am walking. It is good, sugar free and has some Vitamins in it.

As for "drinks" I usually have a bloody mary made spicy. If we are at home I use V8 a dash of Chipotle tobasco, some six vodka and a pickle spear. I rim the glass with salt, crushed red pepper or seasoned salt. I also like vodka and OJ. I am not much of a drinker but when I do those are my drinks of choice. ~Mandy

      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.
