Chick fil a diet lemonade is my favorite right now. It takes me a while to drink a medium but their cups keep it cold.

Instead of tea I buy a piece of fresh ginger. Slice into thin strips, cover it and dry it out at 30 second intervals in the microwave then leave it out on paper towel overnight. Then pack into a sealed container. I then add 2 or 3 slices to hot Water, very refreshing and taste's great

Thanks to all. I drank a Powerade zero and feel energetic and hydrated. Also a v8 rehydration small drink. And 32 oz Water. Great mix for me. Thanks again!

In addition to what everyone says, I also like diet Fuze iced tea. It comes in cans (not carbonated) and bottles.

When I go into a convience store or even a grocery store I'm challenged by the choices. I'm 5 weeks out today and the dieticians or NUTs as some of you refer to them as(lol) , don't offer very much help other than "stick to the plan" we gave you. The plan calls for Water or sugerfree packets in Water. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Powerade Zero

Crystal light sugar free

wylers sugar free drink packets

propel water

Arizona green tea zero is quite yummy. It does have caffeine so you'll have to up your Water intake a bit. But if you only have one about every day or every other day it should be okay. I only drink about half a can a day.

I'm grabbing drinks at convenience stores all the time....Vitamin Water, Life water, Milk, Bai 5 and/or G2 are always available. In the grocery store I get any of the previous mentioned as well as Premier Protein, sweet leaf water drops, Arizona water enhancers, almond milk, coconut milk, Decaf herbal tea and coconut water.

I'm from Texas so I live on sweet tea, of course it's Decaf and sweetened with Stevia but it works. I also do one Isopure a day. And, I never and I mean never leave home without a cup and some flavor packs. Not just CL either anything sugar free will do, I found A&W root beer flavored the other day. That way when we stop for drinks or gas I can get ice and a Water or if I'm feeling really fancy a diet lemonade from the fountain drinks. As crazy as it sounds I also only go to big convenience stores like truck stops because there is always more options.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
