I have lost about 70-80 pounds in 11 weeks. Had my surgery on the 21st of nov. I have yet to cheat I stay under 20 carbs a day/eat three good meals a day two almost always Protein Shakes but lately I can't stand water! Is there any good drinks below 20 carbs or have a little more that actually taste good and don't have that nasty after taste most diet drinks do!? I would appreciate the help its getting tough drinking 64oz of something you don't like!

I add Milo or other flavored drops ( squirts) to my electrolyte enhanced Water. I dislike plain water so this is a lifesaver for me. No calaries, caffeine, or carbs!

Does this have after taste to it?

The "sweet tea" flavor in my opinion is the best with no after taste :)

My NUT told me diet snapple, crystal lite, sugar free popsicles and I make koolaid with splenda... They are ALL great. Oh oh and I also make a homemade sugar free version of starbucks passion iced tea lemonade. You can buy tazo tea bags in the passion flavor (exact same brand as starbucks uses) and then I mix it half and half with hawaiian punch sugar free lemon berry splash that they sell in individual serving pouches.

Honestly? The Water flavoring stuff from Walmart is really good.I hate Walmart too, but I have to admit their Cherry and grape drink packets are the best.

Oh and "poweraid zero" also !!

Plus it has electrolytes, potassium, etc..

Comes in thirty two ounces. So drink one of those and you've about half way to your daily intake.

Grape flavor is good not to strong and overwhelming.

Personally, I drink Decaf hot green tea all day because I seem to be able to drink more liquid that way. Cold beverages dont go down very quick for me and I find the sensation of my little sleeve getting cold after drinking something kind of a strange feeling lol. Although Im a little strange so that might have something to do with it :)

So I caved a little and been drinking some juices not too bad tho like a cup a day the last three days. I'm going to go get some poweraid and Vitamin Water since I like them a bunch before surgery! Keep the suggestions coming please. I tried the crystal light iced tea it's about the closest I got to no after taste and it being pretty good.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
