sissy13 138 Posted November 30, 2013 Hi. I had my surgery at OLOL in br. I'm 2 weeks and 3 days post op. Down 23lbs. I'm trying to stay hydrated bc I'm on verge of being dehydrated. I can hardly drink Water it just doesn't go down well. Trying crystal light and Powerade zero. Hoping it all goes well. How are u? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethylou66 3 Posted November 30, 2013 Wow!! You are doing AWESOME! I'm only down 20.5 lbs since surgery. I have trouble with getting my fluids in, too. I use Crystal light, too and I've been on Plexus Slim since Aug. (lost 18 lbs pre-op.) I would rather have the satisfaction of food than be hydrated. I know that's wrong, but my issue is that I equate food with socializing, and feel left out. :-/. At my 3 wk visit, I was told I could have whatever is tolerated. Who did your surgery? 1 gracensmommie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sissy13 138 Posted November 30, 2013 Dr. Leblanc. And who did urs? Where did u have it? I just started puree stage past Tue. Not all things are tolerated and not very much either lol. I know that's how supposed to be but still so wierd to me that 7 bites can fill me up. Today I skipped my Protein and trying drink 32oz Powerade 0. I'm so scared to be back in hospital dehydrated.

Bethylou66 3 Posted December 1, 2013 Have you always had a problem drinking plain Water or just since the surgery. I seldom drink plain water-- always add my plexus or crystal light. And I'm a tea addict. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethylou66 3 Posted December 1, 2013 I'm a tea addict as well. I cannot do plain Water like I used to... I am loving the Splenda add-ins at Sonic. I get the Route 44 unsweet tea with mint and mango add ins ( sounds gross, but it's so good!). I wish I had gone to Woman's. Wasn't crazy about OLOL, but Dr. Hausmann and his staff are great!
