Drinking Something Warm



Recommended Posts

I just had my third fill this past Monday. I now have 6 cc's in a 10 cc band. I followed my post fill diet and everything was good. Well, I decided to drink a coffee the other morning, and it helped my morning tightness so much! Next day (yesterday), I did the same thing. Well, today I didn't. And I haven't been able to eat anything! liquids went down fine, but real food, I have been spitting up mucus and spit. I've kept the actual food down. So, my question, do I continue drinking coffee or hot tea in the morning? Or do I go get a slight unfill?

I would keep drinking something warm first thing. My doctor told me that during the night mucus can clog up the hole. Drinking something warm will help flush it out making it easier for food to go down.

Yes, keep drinking something warm in the morning. I wouldn't get an unfill unless you start not being able to keep anything down. I also have to drink something warm in the mornings, and sometimes even later in the day. I think I just produce too much mucus or something. But drinking hot tea has been a life saver for me.

I always start the day with a nice hot cup of tea(preband as well) and I very rarely have problems eating Breakfast. I can't imagine not having my tea - it is more important than food first thing . LOL. When I have had to go for fasting blood tests it is the not having my cup of tea that I struggle with more than no food.

Warm liquids do help to relax your band. However if you get stuck it is better to suck ice chips as they help to reduce swelling.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
