I drink plenty of Water - hot with a teabag and a splash of fat free milk. Other than that it has to be a really hot day for me to drink plain water. What the reminder should be is drink your Fluid. So long as the drink as low cal it doesn't have to be plain water. That is a myth that has now been debunked.

Elcee does it matter if the Fluid is caffeine or not ??

My doctor said Fluid is fluid, just get enough.

She also said try to stay away from caffeine.

Since no soda and I don't drink coffee, I have really cut back but I still have a glass or two of ice tea everyday.

I drink about 64 ounces of Water or sobe and then another 32 of ice tea Water is hard for some people especially me because I don't really like it.

That's a great reminder!

It's very important to stay hydrated, otherwise you may end up in the ER like I did without recognizing the symptoms of severe dehydration, the most prominent being nausea.

I focus on what my doctor has called "free fluids"...any SF and FF Fluid will count, from popsicles, Crystal Lite, to tea and Water. I was also advised to avoid caffeine..., but I have returned to having my daily glass of iced coffee in the morning.

I also always carry at least 1 bottle of Water with me, and sip constantly. I usually have around 80oz a day. I enjoy a flavored water which is carb and calorie free in several flavors, but I also like the plain water in certain brands.

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
