Water



Recommended Posts

Hey there band steers. I have a question about Water. I must drink three litres a day. Can I still drink that much? Does it help.

By the way I'm addicted to the Cappuccino from minigue.

Without knowing how long ago you were banded, it is not possible to say how you will go about drinking 3 litres of Water per day. In the early days you will find it difficult but it will get easier to drink greater quantities of Water the further out you are.

I drink at least 2 litres a day, often more. It's just a case of having my water always available and sipping frequently.

The important thing is to remember not to drink with food, nor for whatever period of time before and after food that your dr recommends. My surgeon says 30 mins either side of food and I have learnt to do that over time.

You are off to a great start in that you already drink so much water!

PS Nothing wrong with cappucino from my perspective, I have mine every day and am still losing weight. Down 64kg (144lb) so far.

Your progress is so amazing. I don't get banded until feb 8

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
