I am 15 days post op and I need something to drink other then Water, flavored water, and Protein Shake. I wish I was craving something but I am not. I just need something. I tried a sip of lemonade, milk, chocolate milk, Gatorade, and a strawberry slush. Nothing is satisfying, or seems to be what I want. Im so over water...

How about sugar free Popcicles. They will help with your fluids and they taste good too. I love the tropical ones they are yummy. I know you said you are so over the Water but you can pick up Sugar Free additives that you add to you water. They cost $1.00 at the Dollar Tree etc. They have Orange Crush flavor, Root Beer, tropical punch flavored. They taste just like a soda pop without the carbonation. They helped me a lot during the hard to drink water time. If you can stand your water cold, I found I have to have mine extra cold. Maybe some green tea will help too. Lipton has some Sugar Free Mixed berry, Citrus and my fav Peach tea. Those can help to get it in. Sorry for my ramble, I think I write like my mind thinks. LOL

Yep i love the popsicles, and yes i have the flavor packets for my Water. I have tried so many flavors and yes the orange crush, and root beer taste like the soda but They get old quick, and the popsicle is not a drink, but yes i love the flavors. It just seems like those are still just flavors of Water...lol i know its weird, i have always loved water, and constantly eating ice it just seems even all the differences in taste they dont give me what im searching for. Im gonna try tea. And see if it helps. Oh im soooo thankful for this to be my biggest problem. Thank you shedo

You are so welcome. BTW they all count towards you Fluid intake. Good job on trying different drinks. I love my tea!! And a added plus the green tea is supposed up your metabolism. Hey, I'll try anything!! LOL

If you're missing "meals", try something savory. You can eat pretty much any Soup out there if you strain out the chunks. (I'm assuming you're on full liquids because of the milk.) After the soup is heated, you can stir in some unflavored Protein Powder to increase the Protein. Soup counts toward your Fluid goal. There are a lot of good choices now in the grocery store. It doesn't need to be "chicken & stars"!

But don't add the protein powder before you heat the soup! It can get all clumpy. UGH!

I couldn't handle the "sweet" overload. Good luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
