Struggling to hydrate

[BrittneyE 60]

I am now 5 days post-op and struggling to get enough Water. Anyone else? I am trying so hard but I can only get a few little sips down every. Any tips on how you do it? I'm barely getting 20-30oz down each day.

At that stage all liquids count. Soup, broth, Jello etc. I had the same problem starting off. Some days is still a struggle. My surgeon tools me to concentrate on getting Protein and the Fluid intake will follow

Ahhh! I have not been counting my other liquids! Thank you AJP!

Some days using a tiny medicine cup helps. Just keep filling that. All those tiny sips add up

It’s hard for me to drink Water too. Before the surgery no problem, that and unsweetened iced tea were all I drank. I’m trying different options like coconut water and Gatorade zero. They seem to go down a little better

5 days post op and it is a chore. I do not not like plain Water. I use lots of Half Gatorade/apple juice/grape juice half water in my 24 oz bottle. This way I drink from water bottle 48 oz. Then every 3-4 hours I do a cup of broth/jello or popsicle. This is how I get my 64oz in.

Try Essentia Water with p.h balance and electrolytes added. You can also do Pedialyte as well.
Sugar free popsicles melted in DIET cranberry juice (5 calories per 8 oz.) Just to help you along.
