Ill have to try those out. I can def have stevia . This getting fluids in thing is harder than i thought lol

So i have been having a very hard time getting in my fluids. I was sleeved 8/21 and here is my problem I can't stand to drink just water . I would love to drink something with flavor my problem is I cannot drink anything with aspertime . It causes me to get a severe headache and stomach ache . So pretty much rules out the crystal light packets. And most of the other packets to add to water. I don't want to drink juice because of the sugar content in them and carbs. Anyone have any idea what I can drink I am only consuming about 32 oz of water a day and i fear im going to end up in the hospital on IV's if I dont get something figured out. I dont want to drink to much broth because of the amount of salt.

I am 1 week out down 17 pounds since surgery. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Don't worry complications dont happen often put your faith in your doctor he knows what he is doing you have more of a chance dying from complications with your health and being heavy than with this surgery so the benifits outweigh the risks :-) you will do fine mama.

How much weight have you lost since your surgery? I was at 327 the day of surgery. I am now down to 310. I go see the doctor Thursday. I so cant wait till I can move ro pureed and soft foods. I am dying for some cottage cheese lol. I have noticed since surgery the areas I am really losing are my arms i have what I would call flying squirrel arms if I jumped out of a plane to sky dive I wouldnt need a parachute I could just activate these suckers and glide to the ground . Sadly my boobs are getting smaller too lol Where are you noticing the weight loss?

So I use a cpap I havent been religious about it in the past but when I had surgery they had trouble keeping my heartrate up it would dip between 35-45 and I was on oxygen it was recommended that I use my cpap when I get home. Well i found out the hard way that I cant do it. Causes alot of air in my tummy and makes me absolutly miserable so I am just not going to use it I was actually fine before surgery. Did anyone else hve that problem. On the plus side I am a week out tommorow from my surgery and down 16 pounds I am pretty excited about that! :-)
