Clear Liquid Tips?



Recommended Posts

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! ^^

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.

There is a flavored water brand called "hint". 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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
