Some people find that tap Water doesn't agree with them post up. You may consider getting a filter if you find tap doesn't agree with yoy. In the hospital, I ended getting my husband to bring me smartwater to finish my Water challenge. The water from a filtered machine was just too metallic tasting. Hydration is hydration get it how you can!

Yeah that’s my problem it taste just as metal and it makes me sick. SMARTWATER? I’ll try it.

I am good with tap Water in NY and prefer it better. I learned my lesson when I traveled to FL that Water tore my stomach up. When I travel overseas i stick to bottled water only.


Yeah Florida water is not the same anymore. It really depends were you go. You can’t drink the water in Hialeah. But Miami lakes water is fresh.

The first time it was in Ft. Lauderdale. All other trips to Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando we only used bottled. I am just mindful now when i travel.

Next week I am going to do my shopping for my pre-op and post op, while taking into consideration my taste buds may change.

I buy cases of Hint Water because it goes down like a dream. Plain water irritates my stomach

I drink crystal light in my Water or have Gatorade zero. The blue and yellow are surprisingly delicious. I did plain water for a while and quite frankly, it’s boring. You have lots of no or very low flavor options. Mio, crystal light, Gatorade, etc. I count Gatorade as my water intake as it’s mostly water.

Pedialyte will also work but I only get it for my dog when she’s sick so I can’t speak to the flavors.

I think they call it distilled Water. My nutritionist had me try regular water at different temperatures and I found that I can’t drink ice water or cold water much it bothers me. So I drink it room temp or warm it up a little.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
