I just discovered Ocean Spray Diet 5 ! I like the Cran-Blackberry. 5 calories, 1 gm sugar. Sweetened with sucralose. Lots of flavors. Didn’t care for the cran-mango though...

I just might try some, thank you Fluffy Grandma for the tip. I have been on a basically liquid with a few purees almost from the beginning because of my stricture and ulcerations, and drinking gets boring after 4.5 months, someday things will be better , I will go back to oral feeding instead of my TPN, I still can have a little by mouth and usually fluids. Thanks again.

Vitamin Water zero and Powerade zero, as life savers to break up different flavors!

Also, try adding powdered PB to your shakes. Truly turns it into something amazing!

I use GMC lean chocolate and vanilla. Also premier shakes. You can add PB to any of them! I like the premade shakes! Makes life easier.

This may be bad advice...but I ate the oikos zero yogurt, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, and fell in love with fat free cottage cheese! Weird, I know, but it tasted amazing and went down easy. Hang in there!!! I'm 2 weeks post OP...we will have real food eventually, just less of it! [emoji3]

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
