This is probably a dumb question but do you guys drink Water? I was told not to drink straight water. Not sure why. I've been drinking tea but I really need my water.

Drink Water. 48-64 oz daily. I have to. Not he 1st or 2nd day but def after! If not u will dehydrate. U can have chicken broth, ice pops or Jello in place of it but u need water before any protien

I think u need to ask questions like 'why' when u are told not to do something, that way u can get it in your mind the reasons behind such thinking. Most people drink Water, its part of life, yes u can get your daily Fluid intake from other sources such as food and drink, it doesnt necessarily have to be plain water but water is convenient and easy to drink so i am sure it wont do u any harm at all, based on the fact that the whole world drinks water. You do need to make a quick phone call to your doctors and ask them why :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
