getting liquids in



Recommended Posts

I have always had a problem with drinking a great deal of liquid. This is something both my mother and her sister have as well. I am drinking more than I ever have before, my urine is light and pale, but I am no where near where I should be. I am sipping through the day, take a bottle of Water with me when I am in the car, I am losing weight. Am I hurting myself? I had my first fill yesterday and it is harder yet.

I have always had urinary problems and my doc says that your urine should be pale in color and no big odor. Also, I don't drink alot during the day and my doc says that there is a lot of Water in all the foods we eat so not to worry so much. Just make sure you drink a couple of glasses a day of some kind of liquid. Water is best!

Your body should tell you when you need liquids. Pale pee is a great sign. They've pretty much thrown out the old "8 glasses of Water a day" for everyone theory. Different people need diffeent amounts. Like anything, it's a habit you can get into. Carrying a water bottle with you is great. I keep one in my car, by my sofa, by the computer, by my bed. If you are not a water drinker (lots of folks hate it) there are a zillion types of teas out now with wonderful flavors (not that instant crap, but tea bags or loose tea leaves to make tea). Sounds to me like you are really on the right track. You might also get some clear Protein Drinks (Isopure puts a great one out that comes in a bottle and has 40 g of Protein and 160 calories).

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
