Just A Tip To Stay Hydrated, Especially For Those Having Trouble Keeping Liquids Down



Recommended Posts

Don't drink something cold, no matter how tempting it is.

I know that it is soooo tempting to just have one sip of the ice cold Water especially when you are thirsty, but you'll end up throwing it up all.

I usually stick to green tea - especially in the morning.

It goes down much better than just warm Water, and plus it is supposed to be good for you with 0 calories, as opposed to some sugary or other drink variants.

In the afternoon, the cold drinks may work, depending on condition but never in the morning.

The whole point is, drink something that you will not throw up - I find that it has to be warm liquid, especially early in the morning.

Does anyone have any suggestion apart from green tea for 'warm liquid' for the banded people?

I have absolutely no problems drinking ice cold Water morning noon or night so I think this is another example of us all being on the same journey but with a variety of routes! Good luck getting suggestions that work for you :)

I have my morning coffee (which I know has caffeine and therefore can dehydrate you, but I gotta have it!). I don't find I have an issue with cold liquids in the morning as long as I don't chug them. And if I want to try to eat something, I'd better have a warm liquid beforehand, not cold (then I will bring it back up!).

Oh, Ill be sad if I can no longer have my frosty chocolate Pure Protein Shake in the morning. I hope Im one of those that can otherwise Ill do a mug of Decaf coffee...don't like a lot of caffeine and I hate hot tea. Plus I live in Az....we like our drinks cold because it gets so hot. It will be 92 today.

I also have no problem with ice Water or cold Protein shake in the morning. If I was unable to keep ice Water down I would consider myself too tight and get a slight unfill. Yes I am much tighter in the AM, but not that tight.

As far as ideas for something warm... I would stick to tea if I had that many difficulties.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
