I drink a lot of those flavored packets that you put into your water bottle. 0 calories and 0 carbs, so no problem with anything added to it. I also drink crystal lite, there are so many flavors to choose from. Decaf tea sweetened with splenda is also a good Water source. Just be imaginative and you will come up with plenty to keep you from being bored with just water

I drink Milo's Splenda tea mainly. Also, plain Water or Crystal Lite packets in water. I do orange juice every once in awhile. I took a sip of my dad's coke today, and it was so good, but can't have those.

I use the Crystal Lite drop ins, Vitamin Water and Protein Shakes. I have tea w/ splenda, but put Almond Breeze Unsweetened vanilla in it. It is 40 cal a cup, but don't use a cup for my tea.

Water with Crystal Light. Fuze Slenderize is 10 calories for 8oz; 2 carbs. I usually just stick to Water though.

I drink Water, crystal and propel mixes added to water, coffee with sugar free Creamer, iced lipton tea with splenda so no cal or carbs either. Obviously my portion of milk a day, but I try to do that for Breakfast with a Protein Shake. I had a sip of a slushi the other day of my sons. It was way toooo sweet, I won't be doing that again. I was a Pepsi addict before they told me that my cholesterol and triglicerides were over the top, no more, and that's good because of the band too.

I like the Target brand packets to mix in my Water bottle. Some of the flavors are amazing... Cherry limeade, tangerine strawberry and grape are my favorites. They also have lime margarita, strawberry orange banana and fruit punch. They are delicious. I always have one in my pocket or backpack.

Vitamin Water Zero and Welch's Diet Black Cherry (only 10 cal per 8oz serving). Either of these you can find at a convenience store.

I drink quite a bit of iced tea. Over the years I have become picky about the brand. My fav is lipton tea bags.

I take a 2qt. pitcher and fill it about 2/3 full of hot Water, let 4 teabags steep in it for a couple hours and then add 5 packets of sweet-n-low and fill the rest with ice. I make a pitcher daily.

I drink a lot of Water and lo-cal drinks like iced tea and Crystal Light type drinks, but I don't freak out about having a higher calorie drink. I just add that to my running total of calories for the day.

I drink coffee every day with cream and splenda. I also drink a protien shake made with soy milk every morning when I wake up, which keeps my protien up and food intake down (keeps me full) . I am still scared of soda champagne and beer

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
