mgsmith72 30 Posted September 19, 2012 Hello all, I am 1 week post op and had been having a hard time getting my Water in. I tried everything so today I tried unsweetened iced tea. I don't know why but it goes down sooo much better. 1 JerseyGirl68 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesHRN 114 Posted September 19, 2012 Not sure what you question is here but if you want to know if it counts as Water I believe it does Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryokokitty 26 Posted September 19, 2012 Just make sure its decaffeinated, otherwise you're fine. Caffeine will dehydrate you and of course, defeat the purpose. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lessofmeismore 1,405 Posted September 19, 2012 Tea goes down better for me too. I drink it all day. Definitely get some Decaf since your still new on your sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsereno 2,525 Posted September 19, 2012 I really liked Sleepy Time Tea right after surgery. So soothing! I still like it now, but I can also enjoy many other things at goal and over one year out. My newest find is sugar free apple cider mix. I found it by the hot chocolate. Great treat in the evenings as the temperature cools. Lynda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alliecat1095 128 Posted September 19, 2012 I decided to try chamomille(?) & lemongrass. So far so good no pain. I am not able to drink Water. My stomach starts hurting. I am tired of crystal light and Diluted Isopure .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prettysleeved1 173 Posted September 19, 2012 Sometimes the surface tension of Water gets to me and I add a squeeze of lemon in. That has just happened since surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgsmith72 30 Posted September 19, 2012 @alliecat, Yes I am also tired of Protein Shakes and Water too. I guess because I was drinking them before I actually had to that now i'm sick if them. I tried the Lipton tea and honey with mango and pineapple and the lemon, they are pretty good and I can usually drink the while cup, just takes awhile. @James no it wasn't a question just stated a thought to see others view, I guess I did just leave it out there in left field...LOL!!
