Water texture issue after sleeve



Recommended Posts

I’m just wondering how many others have had a problem drinking Water (filtered, tap, bottled, etc.) without adding something like bouillon, crystal light, tea, or making into coffee.

I can’t be alone in this, right?

Until I started eating more food I was really struggling with the liquids, and plain Water just wasn't doing it! It's better now, but I still need it full if ice

I loved Water prior to my sleeve. I still crave it, but I'm not consuming water like I need to be. It's not going down right, I'm using drink enhancers, broth, Popsicles and hot tea. I'm still falling short, now this is war!!! I need to hydrate better, because I loved water prior to surgery. I've got to make this work, no choice.

Yes Plain Water makes me nauseous. I only drank gatorade zero then first two weeks until I was able to get some crystal light.

Me, too. I was a major Water lover before my surgery, and now it doesn't appeal to me at all.

I have found for me that Powerade zero goes down like silk. Water, broth and gatorade zero all have a different texture it seems now after surgery. I didn’t understand this post at first until I drank the Powerade zero and it’s so much easier to drink. Hope it’s all working out for y’all.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
