What drinks do you like after surgery.

Coffee

Lattes

Juices

I'm getting bored of water but don't want to get soda and I hear orange juice is bad

Crystal light ice tea, pink lemonade
Hot tea, camomile and decaf coffee in the am


Motivation is what gets you started, Habit is what keeps you going.

Anything that is sugar free or diet.

I drink diet Snapple, sugar free lemonade, broth, fat free cream of chicken & mushroom (strain the chunks out), & PowerAid Zero.

Did your doctor not tell you that you shouldn't have any carbonated drinks? It isn't a matter of "wanting sodas" vs it would be nuts to try to drink it right now so soon after surgery.

As long as it doesn't have caffeine, is zero/very low calories, and isn't carbonated there are a good amount of options. My staples were Powerade Zero, Propel waters, Crystal Light (actually the Walmart Great Value equivalent), and diet cranberry juice (the Ocean Spray one that is only like 5 calories). I would mix the cranberry juice in with my Crystal Light. For example I'd do a glass that was 80% CL and 20% cranberry juice.

The good thing with the Crystal Light products is that you can also mix up the packets. I'd take one grape and mix it with a berry pomegranate, or a watermelon with a strawberry. Gives you a bit more variety on flavors.

I liked Protein shakes, Water with different sugar free squirt bottle flavors, and tea.
