I have found a FABULOUS drink!!!
So, this is not a drink that will give you any protein....0 PROTEIN!!!
However, I have been struggling to get my fluids in and there really isn't much I like to drink. I am now able to drink a LOT.....I have started adding extra extra lime to my water and I can get that down okay...and then I drink (drum roll) 15 calorie Cherry Limeade from Minute Maid and I squeeze extra pieces of lime in it. OMG it is so good. I have to be careful not to gulp it down.
It has 4g carbs, and 3g sugar....it does not cause me any dumping but I know each person is different. Anyway, I LOVE THIS STUFF....just thought I would pass it on. Although I know they say don't drink your calories, however the 15 calories are worth it to me to get my fluids in....

Ooh I will have to try that. I have been drinking the Minute Maid 15 calorie lemonade and I love it. My surgery is scheduled for Monday and although I plan on getting most of my fluids from good ol H20, I like having the alternatives!
Be careful on the serving size of these drinks - you may find you are ingesting a lot more sugar and calories than you think ... 8fl oz is only a very small drink!
I think it would be ok as an occasional drink, but there are lower sugar alternatives out there so it might pay you to keep on looking so you can change it up a bit!

I stick to some rules for drinks -
Mostly the drink should be
ZERO calories (but 5-15 are doable)
NO FAT
NO CARBS
NO SUGARS
Of course this isn't always possible other than plain water. But here is my latest drink -

I certainly understand where everyone is coming from....However, I was drinking about 16 ozs of fluid total a day before this because I didn't like anything. Even if I drink 5 of these a day it is only 75 calories and and 15g of sugar, which I am fine with.
I used to drink 5-7 glasses of sweet tea with dinner and never drank regular water. I am prefectly happy with this choice......
