I pretty much drink my Protein Shake and Water. Every now and then i drink Crystal light. But it is all I can do to get all of my liquids in, so If I try to drink too many things, it just gets to be too much

I drink majority Water (80 oz plus some each day). If I need a change I will have an occasional coffee (fully caffeinated with fat free Creamer and half a packet of sweet n low), an unsweetened green tea (starbuck's or I make my own), or once maybe every month or so a tiny bit of orange juice (less than 4 oz). I can't do crystal light, but wil squeeze lemon into my water once in a great while. Milk, only almond for me and I don't drink it straight.

The only thing I ever drink is Water with the exception of my 1 premier Protein shake per day.

The only Water acceptable to me however is spring water. Every other kind tastes dusty to me. LOL

I buy it in bulk from costco fairly cheap.

On a daily basis I drink one Protein Shake made with Fairlife milk (13g of protein), then unsweetened iced tea and I just recently discovered a couple flavors of Sobe that I enjoy!

Other than Water

Iced coffee w/ half & half and SF sweeteners

Iced tea w/ SF sweetener

I brew my own Black and Passion Tea (saves money in Starbucks runs)

I cold steep tea bags and mix them with crystal light lemonade. Lipton peach green tea steeped in iced Water with crystal light lemonade is fantastic.

Sometimes I drink chocolate premier Protein when I'm replacing a meal.

Crystal Light

Trop50 orange juice diluted with water + a scoop of unflavored Protein is a pretty standard Breakfast drink for me.

But I still try to get in half a gallon or so of water. I usually can't but then some days I can.

Decaf green tea. I buy different flavors from Republic of Teas. I love the Ginger Peach. I usually steep it for a minute in hot Water then pour it over ice and add Water. I also like Orange Crush Water Enhancer (stick of powder like Crystal Light). Powerade Zero occasionally. Sometimes I squirt a little lime juice in my water but yea I am definitely sick of water....

Lots of folks using fair life milk. I considered it for the Protein content but seem to recall a lot of carbs. Anyone concerned about that?

Spring water.. I have always always been a huge fan of Water. I tried crystal light and didn't care for it at all. On Drs orders a drank a bottle of Powerade zero until I could get in required amount of water daily. It sure didn't take me long I hated that stuff.. I have never cared for tea the only thing I miss is my daily coffee.< /p>

I love finding a great decaf tea! I brew them and then drink them over ice. It has been a Godsend.

Aside from that OP, I drink Vitaminwater Zero, Hint Water and sometimes I'll get a decaf iced coffee with a splash of cream and some splenda.

Here is some more information on both the Vitaminwater and the Hint water:

The Hint Water and the Vitaminwater can be found in many grocery stores. Hint water comes in soo many flavors, I am sure you will find something you like. :)

      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.
