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!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
