Water intake

[knightdoc86 10]

Buy 20oz bottled Water and take 3 to work, they better be gone by the time i get home and this doesnt include other fluids i come across---im up to 4 bottles of 20oz a day plus 11oz Protein Shake, milk, juice, or coffee---im almost a yr out so i can drink coffee again.

Atkins has Protein Shakes that I love that are made with real coffee. Is that going to be a no no once I've had my surgery??

Nope - remember you are teaching yourself & your body new & healthier habits. Drink your Water.< /p>

This is kind of random and you can ignore it depending on which side of the straw debate you fall on, but I find I drink way more Water from a tumbler with a straw than if I am just drinking from Water bottles. Not sure why..... I always get 80 oz in easily that way. I just keep in on my desk and sip, sip, sip all day

My nutritionist was against straws for new sleeves. You take in too much air & it can cause uncomfortable gas pains. After 6 weeks a straw is fine

I am 10 weeks out today and still struggling with Water. I used to love water. I chugged ice water all day. Now I can take 3 small sips and I have to stop. After a few minutes I can have 3 more sips. If I take 4 I get nauseous. I think I am just having a hard time getting in the habit of a few sips every few minutes. Does it get easier at any point? I wish I could drink it like I used to.

It become easier to sip and you can drink a lot longer but so far I don't drink like I used to . I can take bigger sips, but I can chug.
