Hydration Question

[LouiseC 1,031]

This question seems a bit stupid, and I think I know the answer, however I am not sure so need to check.

In counting my fluids each day, is it just Water I count or can I include cups of tea, broth etc?

All liquids count.

I concur...

I am relieved. Tea goes down much easier than water!

G2 is good too. There are a few calories involved, but if you're in the early stages, it's great.

It is very important to stay hydrated! I'm in the hospital right now!! I was so dehydrated my potassium level could have triggered a heart attack, luckily no liver/kidney damage. I have a central line in my neck because my veins are so bad. I came in Monday and won't get out til Thursday. Drink! Drink! Drink!

I'm 15 days postop now and I find warm liquids go down easier too. From other posts I've read, I think that is fairly common.

even adding a bit of sugar free cordial to your Water should make a massive difference!

Its made me double my intake

Since my sleeve I've found that I've become addicted to hot green tea with one Splenda in it. I easily drink 4-5 cups through out the day. Thankfully green tea is low in caffeine.

Remember, caffeine dehydrates, so if you are drinking it you need even more Water.
