There are other flavors like green tea metabolism and mango, peach and other flavors. I have tried them as well not too bad I jus****er them down a little bit. I only buy Walmart brand cause I don't like Crystal lite.
I posted a little advice about getting your fluid in daily on the other post.
I plan to have a little taste of everything, I will not deprive but when I say a tablespoon or a teaspoon of this and that that's exactly what I do. I am usually stuffed right away since the turkey for me is always a hassle unless it is super juicy and tender, Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

I always had trouble drinking water even from pre op.... I notice that if I have a water bottle that is room temp my pouch tolerates it better. When it's cold it makes me nauseous for some reason. I never like water much from before. Plus drinking room temp water helps with losing weight I heard. I don't know if that is real though. lol
I buy the flavored Walmart brand drinks to go and take a little pouch and add it to my bottle of water and I drink that a lot better. I get in about 100 fluid ouch a day if I do that. If it is plain water I am up to my head by the time I get to my 7th cup. lol
You can do this!

I remember being this early out and barely getting in 35 oz of fluids a day. I couldn't even get enough with protein. I am very proud of your progress.
As for protein shakes , drinks, bullets let me tell you all after surgery were just plain old nasty to me. I could not tolerate the flavor, smells etc.
One I did like a lot that I bought at GNC was 50 grand slam in a can. No preparing and really good cold. But quite pricey like $2.50 or so a can. 50 grams of protein in one can and I would drink half early in the day and the other half in the evening.
The one protein I found that I have liked and stayed with it for the past 5 years is called Body fortress whey protein. Found at Walmart and $15.00 for a jar of almost 2lbs. I like the vanilla best and chocolate the only way I drink it is by adding peanut butter to it. I love the vanilla with PB also, you can add fruit to it as well. The one thing I have noticed is that I do best on it when I mix it with water. The milk gets gassy so I avoid that. lol
Keep me posted on how you are doing and please do not hesitate to contact me if you ever have a question. Start a new thread on the forum or just email me at [email protected].
Wishing you nothing but the best!
