Hi, all! I am almost 3 months post sleeve and i am having so much trouble getting in my fluids! I can't stand the taste of any artificial sweeteners, so no Powerade zero, no crystal lite, no Water enhancers... Plain water hurts my tummy. juice diluted with water is ok, but I'm not thrilled with the calories. The only thing that goes down well for me is decaf coffee or ice coffee.

Anyone else struggles with this? Any good ideas or solutions? My NUT recommended fruit infused water. Does that taste ok?

Thanks in advance for your response and advice...

make it a great day

G2 Gatorade is real sugar but reduced amounts. V8 juice Soups protien drinks (goes to your daily liquid intake ) pedialyte regular Popsicles

I'm in the same boat with artificial sweeteners. It's a struggle

Propel is great..and don't know about everyone else, but I was told that our Protein drinks do not count as part of our Fluid intake.

I had similar issues. I mixed water and Gatorade 50/50. I didn't worry about the calories because I was getting so few.

My drink of choice. 5 flavors. All very good. This one- Lemonade- literally no Protein taste, tart enough, great success with it. I hate over sweet as well, and prefer non-dairy based drinks.

Mandarin orange and black cherry Propel for me.
