For me warm Water with bullion cubes went down well. I couldn't tolerate sweet very well after all the shakes. I added unflavored Protein as well.

Thanks for these great ideas and tips! Your advice can definitely help out other WLS patients who are struggling to get in their Fluid intake or who just need a change!

Thanks for pointing out the value of trying fluids at different temperatures – sometimes room temperature drinks are easiest to get down, while ice Water can work for some patients, and Hot Drinks and broth present a welcome change!

With all of these ideas, I think there is a great take-home message: keep trying, because there has to be something you can tolerate well enough to hit your Fluid recommendations! Keep them coming!

I also LOVE my coffee. Favorite is a venti hot dark roast from Starbucks....5 Splenda and cream.

Your NUT allows caffeine? I've been off the stuff since March.

My NUT doesn't allow much in life but a breath of fresh air.

My surgeon was cool with my coffee.< /p>

Water, coffee, tea, Water, tea, water, oh and more water...

occasionally I slip up and steal a like 1/12th of a cup from work of pepsi... mostly for the flavor since I swirl it around until no carbonation. In no way am I encouraging this btw... just admitting it.

but mostly... water... tea... and coffee, oh and more water... which reminds me I need to get someone to change the water jug thingy to put on a new one.
