Synixer 14 Posted January 23, 2018 Hi! so i had my surgery 4 days ago, today is my first day where i do not need pain meds and i do not feel pain drinking. i have been awake for like... 6 hours and i've almost drunk a whole bottle of Powerade (16 oz/500ml bottles). i live in North Norway so i got delicious tap Water. but im abit pick sometimes, a family friend who took the surgery 5 years ago recommended powerade. I did not get a whole lot of info about what i cannot and what i can drink only that i need to stick to clear liquids( i have a suggestion list from the doctor but that's about it). i was considering buying peach ice tea. but honestly there is a bit of sugar and kcal in it. do you guys think it will be fine? also do you have any other suggestions for good drinks? anything helps! ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Losebig 508 Posted January 23, 2018 Water with lemon in it is pretty good. I use True Lemon, not sure if it’s available in Norway or not. Generally plans usually allow anything that’s non caffeinated, non carbonated and sugar free. On my plan they don’t want you to have regular tea or coffee because the tannins can cause irritation to the stomach (herbal tea is ok). If doing Protein Shakes you can also water them down and get Protein and fluids at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has some really good flavors. If u dont find it in stores try on Amazon. Crytal light is another good option, tho i dont like it bc the fake sugar. My favorite is herbal tea. There r so many flavors and all sugar free. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
