ikarri 9 Posted May 13, 2016 My taste pallet is off. My body is going into ketosis and my dr is allowing me 12 oz a day of regular Gatorade which is great but I'm not drinking the whole 12 oz because of the sugar. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App My doc had me drinking orange juice because it was the only thing tart enough for me to keep down, and my potassium was so low I was hardly able to stand. Don't worry about the sugar right now, trust your doc. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamieLogical 8,722 Posted May 13, 2016 Hello everyone I for got why straws are a no no to sip on your drinks Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App The argument is that you might swallow air. But that seems silly to me. I've still avoided them for the most part, but the few times I've drunk from straws without thinking about it, I've suffered no I'll effects.

daniotra 298 Posted May 13, 2016 I'm still pre-op, but I've noticed that I burp a lot more if I use a straw. I never paid attention before I started looking into surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ele marie 92 Posted May 14, 2016 Water taste like perfume to me and it is so sad because it is the only thing I ever drank before surgery. I do not like any flavored anything. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
texasgirl51 2 Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Vitamin zero helps a lot. I can drink 2-3 per day, Decaf coffee in the AM, iced herbal tea in the evening. That comes to about 80-90 oz per day. I find that if I drink loads of fluids I'm not that hungry. I have a Protein Shake in the morning with almond milk. This also counts as fluids.
