Hahaha, me too 😢

I second the Vitamin Water zero. I also like propel.
Nestle makes a lightly flavored water as well that is not artificial tasting if it is available in your area.

I’m not exactly sure if this is good but I did watered down Gatorade. I wanted something other then Water too but if I didn’t not water down the Gatorade it was too sweet for me. I asked my nutritionist and she said that was much better then drinking juice or any other sweet drinks. I did find a light Gatorade which is actually not bad. I wasn’t a big fan of drinking anything to sweet even before he surgery so maybe that’s what’s helped me.

I rarely use the app because, frankly, I do not know how to use it. And something is wrong with the website right now, because I cannot quote anything.
@TX4everLinds Make sure you read the labels on the Isopure drinks. The teas both have caffeine in them. I found that information on their website. I'm pretty sure that the other flavors do not have any caffeine in them. I looked it up because I am not allowed to have caffeine until about six months after surgery.

My Vitamins are:
Flintstones complete x2
B12 spray
D3 liquid
Wellesse liquid Calcium citrate
BariMelts biotin

I was told by a friend who is a nurse and had the surgery to take a stool softener each day of the preop diet and with pain meds afterwards. I also bought Isopure unflavored Protein Powder to add to things afterwards.

Awesome! And I'm sorry that your entire pre-op phase is Clear Liquids only. Blech! Congrats on your weight loss so far. I'm down over 32 pounds since June 29, 2018, but have had a stall lately that I will elaborate on later tonight. It appears that I am back on track.

Welcome! It seems the first week in September is very popular this year! Good luck on your pre-op phase and I look forward to hearing more about you and your progress. You are starting your journey just a few pounds less than I started, although you are a few inches taller as well. My goal is 200 pounds, but it would be nice to be less than 200 if I can get there. Good luck!

Welcome! This a great site for information and for links to additional information. I've learned so much in my short time here - I joined in July of this year. Your appointments will fly past and you will have a date very soon. Good luck!

Welcome and good luck with your pre-op phase!

If you are still within the window to maintain your scheduled move, I recommend you do it before you have your surgery. I was planning to move to one of the two new buildings that my apartment complex just constructed, but the one that is ready is already completely full and the second building has had a setback for the move-in dates. I was supposed to be able to move in by the beginning of August, but now it looks like October before the second building will be ready to occupy. I think this is a blessing in disguise for me - I've decided not to move within the complex. If I move it will be to a new complex completely.

And Welcome@ WellsK1959, if there isn't one I'm sure someone will start one for November 2018.
