5 days PO and water is my enemy :(



Recommended Posts

I can not manage straight Water and things that are cold are not much better. I have had great success with herbal teas 1/2 packet of sweetener. (be careful about the sweetener - I found one did not do great things for my bowels). I let the teas cool until they are warm and not hot. I was warned to not have cinnamon in teas... no chai for me

I'm also wondering why no cinnamon. My winter spice tea has been soooo good to me in the morning. Please share.

@@sunnkistme I did that too and still do some days are easier than others. Plain Water is just hard for some reason. Keep at it.

I'll chime in as well. :) I'm 7wks today and Water still gives me fits. Dr said it's normal. And why no cinnamon? I do love my tea. It has been a great help in getting liquids down for sure. Hope today is a. Great day!

I have a really hard time with plain Water also. The only thing that goes down smoothly for me is propel water lemon flavored. That I can drink. It is really weird. Good luck!

Apparently cinnamon can irritate your freshly restructured tummy. At least that is what they said at the class. I stuck with organic fruit flavored teas. I really enjoy mint teas but they occasionally bother my new stomach

Why no cinnamon?

Cinnamon can have the same effect as Tomato based stuff and citrus. It can irritate new sleeves. I would think further down the line it would likely be fine but in the those early post op days, the acid would be painful

I'm at the same stage you are and I've decided that my problem with the Water is that I can't drink it slowly enough. I don't know why, but I just can't. :blink:

      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.
