Water



Recommended Posts

I have been getting enough Water in me here lately. Is it ok to drink flavor water and do it count as our water intake?

I wanna say yes! You mean like with Crystal Light? My sister had bypass 7 years ago and she always said that that counts because after all it is water!

When I went in for my pre op class, my nutritionist said to include all Clear Liquids towards your liquid intake. I counted Water of course, but then also clear protien drinks like Isopure, Vitamin water, Powerade zero, propel, sobe lifewater, crystal light, and even broth. I plan on trying out TrueLemon, I heard is like a water with lemon, just like at the restaurant :P

I was overjoyed, because I knew I would get tired of plain water...So I went shopping...

Like MM said all liquids count except alcohol & possibly caffienated drinks

In addition to Water, I use flavored powder mixes, iced T, iced coffee (decaf), even watermelon (yep it counts :P). And I use splenda (all are sugar-free), also, I like the s/f popsicles too.

Hope this helps you out :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
