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

      tl:dr at bottom,
      I could use some advice. I went to see my dietician today (not a bariatric surgery dietician, I can explain why I am seeing her if you want to know). She knows I am going to have weight loss surgery as long as I hit the goal weight my insurance told me I need to be at. I have to be at the goal weight by June 24, 2023, in order for my insurance to pay for my surgery.
      I had a weigh in the doctor's office a couple of days ago and weighed 301, my scale at home said 302. However, on the same day, the scale at a friend's house said 313. 
      I knew I had this Dietician appointment two days later and I knew she would weigh me. I continued to weigh myself at home (after getting new batteries) and I was at 302 then 299 and today at home I weighed 303, right before my appointment, when I got to her office I was weighed and it said 313.
      I am concerned about what to believe since the doctor's office and my scale show similar numbers. I also bought a new scale today and it said 313. 
      The Dietician told me I needed to eat more protein, which honestly I struggle with. she said I needed 150 grams!!  I said are you kidding? that seems like a lot.  She used my weight to come up with this number. 
      Should I really be trying to eat enough protein for a 300-lb person or should I be eating protein for a goal-weight person (mine is 170)?   
      also, my clothing is loose like I lost the 20 lbs mine and the doctor's scale shows, and not 10 lbs like everyone else's scale shows. Also, I have always naturally been more muscular even when I was 120 lbs and did not eat any protein aside from what is in plants. 
      tl:dr- should I be eating enough protein to support a 300lb person or should I be eating protein for a "normal" sized person? AND should I trust the Doctors scale more so than the Dietician's scale?

        Hi!

        I would love to be your accountability partner. I had the sleeve in 2021, so maybe I can give you some insights.

        Please message me back, looking forward to hearing from you!
