12 days post need ideas for low sugar drinks



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done 1/18/16 I'm doing pretty well so far. No nausea or vomiting yet. Started my puree diet Friday and would like some ideas for low sugar drinks. I'm so scared to upset my stomach or do anything wrong. I tried crystal light, but I really don't like it so I've only been drinking Water. Anyone find another drink that's they enjoyed?

I had my sleeve on 1/15. Diluted apple juice has been my saving grace. I do a 1:1 ratio for 8 oz, and that winds up being only 29 calories which isn't too bad.

Ocean Spray makes a line of "Diet" cranberry variations that I like a lot - Cran Pomegranate, Cran Mango, etc. They are zero sugar. At your stage I drank a lot of G2, Powerade Zero, hot tea with splenda and a splash of light cream, all kinds of broth, sugar free hot chocolate (made with 50/50 Water & unsweetened cashew milk), and V-8.

I couldn't tolerate plain Water or artificial sweeteners for 4 months, so I did Decaf herbal tea, broths, Bai5, diluted 100% fruit juice, milk, drinkable yogurt like Siggis or Kefir, diluted Vitamin water and Lifewater, pedialyte, coconut water, and added sweet-leaf flavor drops to my water. Not to mention all of the Protein Shakes, including Raw Fit, Raw Protein, Spirutein, and Syntrax Nectar Naturals.

There are a variety of Water enhancers. I don't know if you will have different reactions than you did with crystal light but you could try some other brands. I like Mio.

Try herbal or Decaf tea, either hot or iced.

I also like ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates: there are a variety of flavors.

You can try infusing your Water with something like mint and/or cucumber, etc.

V8 is also one of my favorites.

Thanks for all the ideas. I am a big Water drinker, but with minimal selections it would be nice to drink something different.

I use Propel lemon flavor. They have a bit of fizz to them so I open all of them, let them sit on the counter for a couple of hours so they go flat and put them in the fridge. They are great over ice but remember - no straws. Good Luck

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
