My "go-to" when I'm tired of Water is Syntrax nectar protein- Fuzzy Navel and Strawbery Kiwi are my favs. If you add 12oz Water and lots of ice they aren't quite as sweet, the added bonus is getting a Protein boost.

Pre surgery loved Crystal Light and unsweetened iced tea, but I can barely drink them now.

Smart1997 Where do u get that from..... and you all will be proud i ffound a drink crystal light lemonade

I would go to syntrax's site http://www.si03.com/reg_index.htm and order a sample pack and see which ones you like. Then I buy the ginormous canister of the flavor I like on Amazon.com. I have an Amazon prime account so I get free two day shipping.

I like crystal light peach and mango or strawberry mio. The unsweetened ice tea from McDonald's is also good. Since small or large is $1 right now, I get large with 8 splenda and it lasts for a couple hours. Be careful about drinking too much crystal light or mio. If you drink it day after day for your liquid, the acid starts to build up and your throat feels like acid reflux (moderation should be ok). At least that is what happens to me. Therefore, I try and have a good variety of low cal or zero cal liquids when looking for 100+ oz of liquid a day.

Sure, take 12 ounce bag of vanilla coffee grinds and place in cheese cloth over a big tupperware or something u can out a cover on, then gradually add 6 cups of cold Water, make sure the grinds are covered in Water but still in the cheese cloth, cover with a lid and let it soak 12-15 hours. Then u can add ur favorite extract, I use vanilla lol and it's very vanilla. Use one tbsp or whatever u desire and add to the mixture after u strain the grinds. U may want to use another cheese cloth and restrain into a new bowl. (u can let it soak at room temp. , but refrigerate afterwards. Then to ice it I fill up a 20 ounce cup with one cup skim milk and 1/2 cup coffee mix, add my Splenda or sf Syrup and sip on my way to work. U can make any flavor u desire ;)

Sounds SO yummy, Susie. I loved coffee before being sleeved but I have only had a couple of sips so far. Do you use Decaf coffee? I have a Toddy maker ( a filtered pitcher for making coffee extracts) and I would love to try this and add vanilla Protein powder to it. Maybe once I start eating normal foods I will try some coffee again.

I use regular coffee, haven't tried it with Protein Powder but sounds like It would be delicious! It took me time to be able to take the acidity from coffee but now I'm ok with it. It replaces my soda that I do not miss ;)

I do kinda the same. I brew whatever flavor coffee i am feeling and put in fridge to cool and mix it with vanilla Protein powder and sometimes some skim, almond, or coconut milk. Poor over ice in my handy dandy drink bottle and go.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
