Hi everyone. I just got out of the hospital last night and I was wondering if anyone used coconut Water on the liquids after surgery? I will probably call my surgeon later and ask for sure but it is clear and I read it hydrates better than water. My sleeve seems to do ok with it.

I will ask about that too. It has to be clear for the next couple days so I can't have any milky products. Luckily coconut Water is completely clear. It's Taste so much better to me than plain water.

Ok I just got off the phone with my surgeon and he said coconut Water is an excellent way to stay hydrated so as long as my sleeve agrees with it its fine. It does have natural sugar in it too but he said that doesn't so much matter right now he just wants me to stay hydrated. So I got my answers! And he said to give the almond milk a another week or so and then see how my sleeve reacts to it.

Oh and in case anyone is wondering I got the O.N.E coconut Water at Walmart it's kinda pricey 33.8 oz for 4-5 bucks but as little as we can drink it's really not that bad at all. It have 45 cal for a cup and 10 total carbs with 8 grams of sugar. It's also high in potassium and is fat/Gluten free. I drink it ice cold and I love it!

@@Comeflywithme You're welcome. They have different flavors of coconut Water some with pineapple or lime mixed and some with pulp I Wouldn't get anything with pulp first thing. I'm not sure about the other flavors I just keep it simple with the plain.

      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.

      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.
