Great idea for getting in fluids for summer!



Recommended Posts

Since the heat will kick it up a notch during summer I think something refreshing is in order. How about a shave ice with Torani or Davinci sugar free Syrup? I'm going to get in about 8 oz of Water with each one but I can adjust the size as I progress after surgery. Flavorful, refreshing and easy to eat! Hawaii Ice is a great one to buy- comes with circular solid ice molds for lighter fluffier shave but you can use regular ice cubes and it's still pretty good. Try pineapple, watermelon, grape, root beer, orange etc....yum!

Sounds like a great idea. Do you know if we are allowed to eat ice? I seem to recall it adding air to your stomach and therefore not recommended. I could be totally making that up. I wonder if you could make popsicles the same way with just Water and Torani Syrup.< /p>

I've never hear that! It seems it would be just like eating food or drinking- shave ice is pretty compact- if you can have sugar free Popsicles post op you should be able to have this. I'll check withy surgeon to be sure though at my surgery consent signing day. You probably could make Popsicles out of it too!

Yummy lime shave ice for dessert- calories 0! Not nearly as good as Hawaiian shave ice, but it works.

      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.
