I am three weeks out and can only have two shakes a day, 4 oz of gelatein20 and some cottage cheese.   everything else gives me pain.   Water makes me sick and cannot tolerate Gatorade or any vitamin water.

You must figure out a way to keep yourself hydrated.  Try crystal light in various flavors.  Try hot tea, hot broth, warm tea, warm water, room temperature liquids, super cold liquids.  Experiment until you find something that works for you - otherwise you'll put yourself back in the hospital due to dehydration.  This is a serious thing, I'm not trying to be alarmist.

I like diet green tea citrus flavor.   They also have diet peach.   It is very important to drink, you may only be able to drink room temperature for now.

i think it is good to try. the things that work with you might not work with others  and vice versa. i think if you can tolerate yogurt then you can tolerate greek yogurt or labneh. which carries more protein and better.

I drank a lot of water before my surgery but find it doesn't sit great in my new tummy. I have fallen in love with  Bai 5 flavored beverages. They do not have the nasty  diet taste  and are not sickeningly sweet . I have tried most of  the flavors( Mango, Dragonfruit, Lemonade, Blueberry, Tea with Lemon, Pear and some other flavors)...But, I  love, love, love the Peach and the Clementine. One drawback, it does have around 10 calories and 20 carbs per bottle, but I can get   fluids in pretty easy so it is a trade off for now.

I'm 4 weeks out tomorrow and that's about all I can take in. I can do water at room temperature but when I couldn't flavored decaf hot tea was how I got my liquid in. Sometimes the chocolate bariatric protein is to heavy for me to even have two in day. I have been using syntrax nectar protein to meet my protein requirements some days.
