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.

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.

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

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.

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

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
