How?! I know I don't get enough :( everything I drink hurts my pouch.. I sip and try everything I can think of and it just makes my tummy sore for like 5 minutes. I'm constantly thirsty and I just cannot figure this out. Regular ice tea was pretty good for me but when I got Decaf and used sweet and low, it hurts !! It's frustrating me to tears :( I don't want to go to the ER for dehydration but I don't want to sip and have a stomach ache for 5 mins and repeat. :(

What about warm liquids like tea or broth? Or sf ice pops?

I have had some Decaf coffee with sugar free Creamer and sweet and low, and it went better, but it still hurt a little. I haven't tried ice pops or other warmer liquids.

It's challenging, I was hospitalized for dehydration.... I can't get the liquid in but after a 4 pound weight gain and getting stuck 7 times because they couldn't find my veins... I'm drinking my Water, if it kills me...

Are you sure it isn't the Sweet n Low you are using? the artificial sweeteners just about kill me and give me horrible heartburn. You might try Stevia or something more natural. Otherwise....call your Nut or nurse. they are there to help!

I was curious about that, I think I will try something else and see if that helps, if not I will definitely be calling.

      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.
