I have been drinking Powerade Zero. I Water them down just because they are quite sweet. Also, have you tried Syntrax Nectar Protein? They make many different flavors, most are pretty decent. I bought a sampler pack on eBay for a decent price. At least you can switch up the flavors that way.

G2 which is low cal Gatorade- I prefer the lemonade flavor or the green or red. I make my own lemonaide with concentrated lemon juice & sweetner. Propel zero- I like the berry the best. Also the zero Arnold Palmer made by Arizona Tea. I couldnt drink Water for a long time so I lived on those. Also those "water enhancers" like Mio or the little zero cal powder packets that you add to water.

Yea that's what I'm using Mio. But I liked no about some chicken & beef broths that are low in sodium I can't find any. I'm SO at the Wtf did I do to myself. Where I can even drink something without it hurting. Just feeling really pissed at myself for making such a Crazy Decision like this.....

It won't seem crazy in a couple of weeks. My favorite drink is slushees. I throw some ice, Water and cherry flavored mio in the blender and zap it a few times, and I sip on them all day. Right after surgery everything seemed sickenly sweet, but that didn't last too long. Good luck!

It gets better. It takes awhile. Sometimes, it even takes a few months. Eventually, you'll be thrilled at the weight loss and how you'll be able to eat small portions of healthy foods and feel full.

I think I was 10 weeks out when I could finally drink Water without it feeling too hard. I started out only being able to drink Arrowhead but now I can drink any water. I still cant drink as much of it or as fast as other stuff though.

Had my sleeve on the 25th October. I been drinking nothing but Protein shakes and Water. And one have other ideas I can drink. I can't eat anything for two weeks. So I'm going crazy <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> Lol

Hang in there. I was crazy too. Try crystal light. And sugar free Popsicles. They saved me. unjury also has a clear chicken broth. It's good and it's 21 grams of Protein. If u take a vanilla Protein shake and add orange crystal light to it, it tastes like a ccreamsicle.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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! 🤣
