Try smoothies to drink. Get suger free plain yogart and freeze it(or buy frozen). Then mix it in a blender with vanilla flavored protein, one tsp. vanilla extract, splenda, ice and one half of a banana. Whip in the blender. It comes out frothy and light, not thick. I can't drink water, either. I did discover some great stuff online, though. Checkout www.Bariatriceating.com . It has delicious protein drinks, desserts, even crunchy snacks. All Legal. I recommend the Lemonade and the Chai. Lou Ann

I mix no sugar added 100% natural juice (like juicy juice, Ocean Spray Lite) and add it to water (75% water, 25% juice). It is good as water or you can make a "slush" out of it by using a large shot of juice and a blender full of ice. Jamie
