Warm liquid to start out your day.



Recommended Posts

Usually coffee with 1 or 2 tablespoons of non fat dry milk (not creamer.. it's not that good for us, imo) or fat free evaporated milk and a tablespoon or two of sugar-free Torani or DaVinci. I'm fond of a combo of 1T chocolate & 1T Peanut Butter.. it tastes like I'm drinking a reeses. :smile2:

If not coffee, then it's some kind of tea. I like Bigelow's constant comment .. but there's tons of good tea out there.

My doctor didn't tell me to do it, but I usually start the day out with coffee with half and half and Splenda (my doc has no problem with coffee). The hot liquid seems to open me up, and when I don't have it I often feel tight for much of the day. I also often end the night with a cup of hot tea when I take my meds; it seems to ensure they go down with no problems. Hot tea is usually my go to if I'm ever feeling extra tight--that's often a sign that I'm dehydrated, so I start off with a cup or two of hot tea, then move on to constantly sipping other liquids (water, Crystal Light) until I'm back to normal.

I always start the day with a cup of tea with a splash of low fat milk. Nothing to do with Dr's orders - just a lifetime ritual.

My doctor didn't say anything, but I start most mornings out with either a cup of Decaf coffee with half and half or a cup of decaf tea. Lately I've been doing the decaf tea with 1/4 tsp of cinnamon in it. My morning glucose levels tend to be high and the cinnamon helps knock them down to size.

I have been following my doctor's orders since the start and I decided to have coffee with hot chocolate mixed in almost every morning. I didn't drink coffee before this but I like it now. I have noticed that if I miss my warm drink in the morning I am not able to eat Breakfast until later than usual.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
