I'm so sick of water



Recommended Posts

Gatorade doesn't have carbonation^. The only reason it would be bad is the empty calories. Try G2 it is actually on my Dr. approved list of things to drink.

You know I once read on this site that someone had tried the coke flavored icee drink that you get at convenience stores. That might satisfy the craving ( not sure how much carbonation is left in it after the process) I am also pretty sure it has calories, but maybe it will be one and done. Lucky for me the carbonation demon left me during my pre-op stage when I was told to stop drinking sodas etc.

There is great controversy right now that the combination of ingredients and sweeteners in G2 is not good for us, especially those on diets, but I also had it approved on my surgeon's list, maybe I'm just over cautious now because I look at everything I put in me now? Oh well Powerade, and Propel work just as well

I am very curious what the problem ingredients in G2 are purported to be. It is just a reduced calorie version of Gatorade with artificial sweeteners replacing some of the regular sugars. I don't see what the big deal is.

I have been drinking Bai5 Antioxidant Infusions. 10 Cals per bottle, 2 Net Carbs per serving. It is made with coffeefruit, the fruit around a coffee bean. Has about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of green tea. I buy by the case at costco.

I have found that I drink more Water if it is very cold. I fill Water bottles 2/3 full and keep them in the freezer, taking them out a couple a day. I also put lime slices in water. I usually use crystal light lemonade or pink lemonade at about half strength.

My favorite is thin cucumber slices in a pitcher of ice Water. I can easily drink a lot of water that way.

I love infused Water (water with strawberries, lemons, blueberries, cucumber, mint, you can try any variation!).

I also like some sugar free kool aid once in awhile, breaks up the monotony.. You can get the little ones that you spray into your Water and mix..

Iced tea is another favorite.

I mostly drink plain water, and very VERY cold.. always have.. but sometimes just a little of these things helps.

Ok, I haven't tried this yet, but I was in the dr office for my 6 week follow-up today and I was talking to a patient who is 1 year out RNY. She told me she makes a good shake with the Premier Protein vanilla, 1/2 banana, ice and Orange Crush liquid Water Enhancer (Found at Walmart). I can't have the banana just yet (and not sure you can either), but it made me think I wanted to post this new find. I am sure it would be good just plain in your Water too. They also have Grape and strawberry. It does have sucralose (Splenda I think). Just thought I would pass this on...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
