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.

Not sure what you question is here but if you want to know if it counts as Water I believe it does

Just make sure its decaffeinated, otherwise you're fine. Caffeine will dehydrate you and of course, defeat the purpose. Good luck :)

Tea goes down better for me too. I drink it all day.

Definitely get some Decaf since your still new on your sleeve. :)

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.

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 ..

Sometimes the surface tension of Water gets to me and I add a squeeze of lemon in. That has just happened since surgery.

@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!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
