Splenda is fine to add to your drinks. One of the things that I relied on early after surgery was sugar free hot cocoa with unflavored Protein Powder in it. I would take two packets and add two scoops of powder. Be careful not to make it too hot or the Protein powder will get very gross. Warm drinks always sat much better on my stomach than cold things did.

I guess I got lucky on the 1st try. I bought some of the EAS dutch chocolate carb control drinks at Walmart and liked them, but they are a little watery for my taste. I had a bag of chocolate Meal Replacement already and just tossed in 1 scoop of that. It made a very thick great tasting shake.

You might try something similar.

Here's the thing: if you are on the clear liquid part of the post op plan (of which I am as well, until I hit at least day 10 post op), then the hot chocolate idea won't work because it is not a clear liquid. It sounds delicious, and I'm totally wanting some sugar-free hot chocolate about now, but my doc was very specific in that, for the first 10 days, I can only consume things that are see through (broth, Jello, Isopure, tea, etc.). Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe your doc/nut gave you different instructions. Just wanted to bring it up, because you are pretty new out of surgery (I am only 5 days out myself).

I totally understand where you are coming from though. I hit a roadblock with broth today - all of a sudden, the smell of it alone was just making me ill. Think I need a bit of a break from it :). I'm having difficulty getting enough Protein in, as well as anything else down. Everything feels very tight for me, and it's frustrating to try and get the water/protein in, but come up short because I simply can't get it down any faster. Okay, enough complaining. Best of luck to you!

I have ordered a brand called BariWise from Diet Direct. They have protien drinks in fruit flavers like lemonade, pineapple mango etc. they aer petty good. But I am still pre op and I have heard that tastes can change.

Good Luck!!

This is where it gets confusing to New sleevers. Each Dr is so very different. I for instance was on Clear Liquids in the hospital. Once home at day three, I was put on full liquids. Cr Soups yogurt, cottage cheese, applsauce for two weeks. Been on soft foods two weeks now and doing great! I am 1 month out:)

I am on very limited liquids until the two week mark when I see the NUT. I am 6 days out and all I can have is Protein, Decaf coffee and tea, strained broth, crystal light, flavored waters and V8 or Tomato juice. I have not been able to drink broth. It grosses me out just thinking about it. I have no idea why. I liked broth fine pre-surgery. Must be one of those taste changes folks talk about.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
