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 :)

      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.
