water after being banded



Recommended Posts

How are you able to sip Water when it is really hot outside or inside. I feel like I could drink this whole bottle of water. I am trying to still sip it but I am not feeling like I had enough water. so how do you handle drinking water in the heat?

It takes a long time to get your Water since you have to take one sip at the time but it is important to do it otherwise you'll get dehydrated. One day I felt like getting dehydrated and it took me about an hour to take 32 oz of Water. I keep a glass of water all the time and take a few sips every 30 minutes or so.

Good Luck!

I know like it sees you can't get enough Water but just remeber it is only a couple or few das before you can drink a full 8 oz. of water also I kept ice in a glass and took y eds so I slept the first 3 days after being banded , then if I was awake I could get my sips in every 15 minutes or I could just suck on the ice also when they say you can have liquids I ate the sugar free popsickles like crazy so that helped keep me hydrated till I could acually start drinking a full 8 oz of water, I am alost a year out and now I drink a lot of water., since us bandsters aren't suppose to have anything carbonated cause I heard it could mess up the band so I stay away from anything carbonated .

      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?
