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

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
