How do you do it? I used to always be well hydrated but having surgery has actually had a negative effect on my drinking habits. I'm just not thirsty anymore and drinking Water feels like a chore now more than ever.

Flavor it with Crystal light or Mio. Drink green or herbal tea. The warmth of that might be a nice change up. Put ice in it, some people prefer that to body temprature. Utilize sugar free popsicles, is there any flavor you really like? I like strawberry kiwi, probably,will put some in my hospital bag, fruit punch flavor got sorta wearying after a while and I loathe watermelon flavored anything.

I have gotten really good at this Water game! Yep I treat it as a game or challenge and it literally starts the minute I wake up! I drink at the least 84 ozs a day. I bring my water bottle with me everywhere I go. If its not in my hand its in my purse. I actually now kind have a mini freak out if I don't have it! I also track my water alongside my food in an app on my phone.

I'm right there with you. I used to get about 100oz a day, now I barely make 56oz and my goal is 64. I flavor it with mio, but I think I might just start cutting up pieces of fresh fruit like lemon/lime etc. The mio is not cheap and it's starting to taste more and more artificial and not helpful! I'm also never thirsty anymore unless I'm working out.

      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.

        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.

      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!
