If Mio or crystal light counts, I like the berry pomegranate flavor mio and either the peach ice tea or margarita flavored crystal light.

I tried Propel awhile back, it isn't bad either.

I'm a big fan of Sobe Lifewater Zero. I've been living on it since my surgery Tuesday.

How has recovery been? I don't feel nervous about my surgery this Tuesday, but I feel like Monday night and Tuesday morning I may be feeling very different than I do now.

I've been drinking fruit 2o natural raspberry since my surgery on the 30th. Tastes great and goes down well for me.

Not terrible. Upper gas pains are the worst part but they're much more manageable every day. The battle is getting in enough liquid, but as long as you sip all day, you'll be good.

Have you been using anything specific to help with gas pain that has worked?

Gas-X strips are what my doctor recommended. They haven't helped all that much. I know they make Gas-X liquid, but my wife has been to 3 pharmacies and can't find it.

Crystal light raspberry lemonade is really good, and I agree plain Water tastes wierd. I am 3 weeks post op and it's been hard to get enough fluids. I also like sweetener with fresh lemon squeezed and lotsa ice, like lemonade.

You want to make sure it has enough Protein.

Isopure has it, but the taste is a little off. I think I'll experiment with crystal light or mio and unflavored whey powder.

      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!!
