Does anyone like low sodium V8 or any of the other V8 blends? I know they are a step up from cleats liquids but they have some Green Blends. Has anybody tried them?

@frustr8 I really do like them a lot but after surgery they gave me gas, I will try them again in a few months.

So far I love the Crush kool-aid packets! The orange is amazing.

I do low sodium V8 it’s good but a add a pinch of sea salt and pepper. I’m 40 days out from surgery and can’t have veggies until next week. I want a salad so bad and my raw veggie salad I make for my husband with black Beans but I know I have to do the well cooked veggies first. It’s all good.

And after my V8 original,r7ns out i have another member of the V8 family to try, it's called Healthy Greens and what it says it contains sound pretty good. Has anyone on here ever tried it? Sounds,like their answer to the Green Smothie crowd.🍶

I am on day 13 of Clear Liquids and have really enjoyed cold coconut Water. The brand is Foco and they have lots of flavors (lychee, mango, pineapple).

I have also enjoyed Apple juice mixed with water, 100ml juice/100ml water.

Do 9thers dilute Protein Shakes with skim or 1% milk to cut down the sticky sweetness. Had s9meone tell me also to pour small glass of milk, after each sip of Protein Shake take equivalent sip of milk and let your stomach sort it out. Is this an aIDK o4 merely a LOL?

I'm surprised no one here has mentioned Mio. It's a liquid enhancer that you add to Water and it comes in a variety of flavors. It's zero calorie, sugar, and carbs and most stores now have a generic version of it. I can usually get away with 2 squirts in a 16 oz bottle of water for a fairly strong flavor.

Teas! Hot and cold are yummy... with lemon or other sweetener

I know this comment is a bit old but I gotta ask...were you warned off lemons by your doctor? I was told absolutely no citrus because it will increase the acids in your stomach.

Pre surgery I became a fan of room temp just Water. Was able to get in all the 64 oz a day. Now post surgery I can not stand the taste of plain water. I found in the store the squeeze little bottles of Fit & active flavoring. 0 cal, caffeine free, sugar free and none of that aspartame additive that I'm allergic to. Grape and fruit punch my favorite. You can make it as sweet or not by how many drops you put in. Great when you go out to dinner.

I tried the Bai Watermelon flavor. I had such high hopes...diluted 1/4 of the bottle in water...I was left soulless from it. It was just "meh." It's been sitting in the fridge about 3 weeks now. I need to really package the remainder up and mail it to the starving kids in China. That way I don't have to waste it. :(

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
