Hey guys - wondering if anyone has had hot chocolate (will use skim plus of course). Getting chilly here in NY & was dreaming of something nice & warm. Don't know how the sleeve will like it. Anyone try it yet? Was sleeved on 9/17..thanks!

Oh yea! I'm almost 5 weeks postop and I have been indulging in the SwissMiss Diet hot chocolate made with water-I add a little squirt of whip topping spray to the top and it is awesome!!

Only 25 calories and tastes like the real deal.

I agree, the Swiss Miss Diet or No Sugar Added are good ways to go. I don't do the whip, but to each their own.

You're far enough out to try it and see how you tolerate it.

Drinking a cup of sugar free as I type, I am 10 1/2 weeks post op, but had it at around 7 weeks out. It's chilly in PA as well!!! It's great on a chilly night for sure.

I LOVE my hot chocolate!! That helped me a lot when i was first pre-op and getting dehydrated. And a dash of whipped cream tops it off!!

I use Nestle's fat free. It's in a canister. It does have a bit more sugar, but I use Water instead of milk so the carb total is low. And to me, this one tastes the best. For ME, if i'm going to indulge in something now (and for the rest of my life) I am going high quality.

I wish I could find a Protein Powder that didn't clump in hot beverages, that would be perfect for hot chocolate!

You might also try a hot sugar free apple cider by alpine. It has warmed me up quite nicely, with the heat radiating from stomach outward. It is very low cal also.

I highly recommend Healthwise Protein hot chocolate. It is allowed by my doc in the first two weeks after surgery -- counts as a full liquid. Very low carb, 15 g protein. There are lots of flavors: original, raspberry, mocha, mint, amaretto, etc. It's VERY good.

      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!!
