Are we allowed to have sugar free hot chocolate during the liquid phase? With Water of course

I was not......Clear liquids only and Protein shakes. Now, bariatric pal sells protein hot cocoa that is made with Water. It is essentially a hot Protein shake and very good.

And....my liquid phase was Clear Liquids so in that case even the protein cocoa would NOT have been on plan.

Are you on clear liquids? Or the pre-op liquid plan. If you have any questions about your diet I would call your nutritionist or your surgeons office and ask.

I am 7 days post op and on the full liquid phase now.

Then you should be fine with sugar free.....however, i would not make it with Water, i would make it with milk and if you have it fairlife milk because it adds Protein.....

My instructions state, no caloric beverages unless they are protein beverages.

Again, you might reach out to your surgeon but I would make those calories count by making it with protein.....fairlife is a great product for WLS patients and it tastes like normal milk.

Clear liquids no, full liquids yes for me anyways

Yes. That's one of the options that they offer in the hospital to prove you can handle full liquids.

I love the Bariatric Advantage hot cocoa with Fairlife Milk.... so delish and a ton of Protein between the two

It changes the taste but I sometimes heat up my premier Protein shake, after putting it in a cup. Poof hot chocolate

Since surgery (2 months ago) I live on hot cocoa, it curbs my intense chocolate craving, I have a bit of a

Sweet tooth. I keep packets in my desk at work, when the Christmas cookies come out I have hot cocoa instead!

Has it slowed down your progress? That's the only thing I'm worried about :/

They make light or sugar free varieties, I don't like artificial sweeteners so I buy the regular kind. I still use it in moderation (1 packet a day limit, and I don't have it every day just days where I'm super craving chocolate or junk food) and I figure 90 calories plus 10 oz of Water toward my daily intake is better than a 200 cal cookie with no nutritional benefits.

I am still losing, I'm participating in the New Years weight loss challenge and lost 3 lbs last week so I don't think it's hurting me too much. I'm a public policy person, we do lots of cost/benefit analysis in the day to day lol, the benefit of hot cocoa far outweighs the cost for me

During this phase for me I did use it, but also put in chocolate whey Protein Powder with it to up the Protein.

Also there are Protein enhanced hot cocoa from Bariatric Pal, that I liked.
