I just bought a case of 15 of these at my local costco for 15.89. They are 18oz drinks with two servings per bottle, 5 calories per serving and 1 gram of sugar per serving. The flavors in my case were, blueberry, coconut, clementine, dragonfruit and pomegranate. The lady that was giving out the samples let me and my daughter try each flavor before we bought them.

Has anyone else had these?? They were so yummy, and NO icky aftertaste which for me is fantastic. I am a little over 6 months out and use Decaf tea (hot and iced) and Water to get in my liquids. It will be so nice to have some other flavors to choose from.

Let me know if anyone else has tried these and what you think. They carry them at Walgreens, Target, some grocery stores. They were the cheapest at costco because they were running a special with a $4 off instant coupon.

I use GENEPRO and mix it with Crystal Light. It can be mixed with hot or cold. It is oderless and flavorless. It has 30 grams of Protein. I keep a big cup of it at my desk......I get in my Protein and Water at the same time.

I LOVE these! I could not tolerate artificial sweeteners postop, so I was drinking skim milk, herbal Decaf teas, 100% fruit juice, and regular (not low cal) sports drinks. Then I discovered these! Yum. The only downside is they do contain caffeine which I am sensitive to. I can't drink them after about 3pm or I won't sleep. Other than that they are one of my favorite fluids

@TEXASLADY52 I also use the GENEPRO and have since day one. I use it in my 32oz of Decaf tea every morning to give me a jumpstart for the day for my Protein intake and liquid. I have no problems getting all my Protein or liquid in, but these drinks just give me a yummy alternative to just decaf tea and Water. I cannot do the crystal light or liquid enhancers, I cannot stand the aftertaste and how I feel even after 1 sip.

@Kindle I didn't see the caffeine in them, but that doesn't bother me at all. I drink the decaf tea now because my surgeon said it was better for me. I am just so excited to have other options that are not full of calories and sugar!!

I can only do the lemonade. I cannot stand a sweet drink. I stop at Sonic every morning and get a 44 oz cup of ice......this usually will last me the entire day. Like you...I have no problem keeping my Protein and Water intake up.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      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.
