I drink a little caffeine each day - usually either 1 cup of coffee in the morning or 1 glass of iced tea at lunch. Otherwise it's lots and lots of Water . . .

I struggle with the Water thing. Right now I get at 24 oz I try crystal light but get tired of that. I think I'm gonna try water with a little lemon juice. Lately I crave lemonade so maybe that will be 2 birds one stone. I can get my water intake and drink lemon water without all the sugar of lemonade.

I wonder about all of this myself. The first meeting with the nutritionist is another 12 days. I love coffee, unsweetened, no Creamer. I like tea too, especially Earl Grey. Once again, unsweetened, no creamer. Living in the desert I drink a lot of Water, especially in the hot weather but I also drink unsweetened Iced Tea at times. I'll do whatever it takes to make it work but I hope that when all is said and done I'll still be able to enjoy a hot cup of coffee in the morning, even if it's Decaf.< /p>

I always have to have mine sweet that's one of my problems. My nut said coffee was fine, but I'm still nervous.

FWIW, many moons ago I always sweetened my coffee and added cream. Then I quit it altogether for quite a a while. When I started drinking coffee again I developed a taste for black, unsweetened coffee. As I type this I'm in bed, just woke up. I really am looking forward to a cup of black coffee in all it's bitter glory. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
