Just A Tip To Stay Hydrated, Especially For Those Having Trouble Keeping Liquids Down



Recommended Posts

Don't drink something cold, no matter how tempting it is.

I know that it is soooo tempting to just have one sip of the ice cold Water especially when you are thirsty, but you'll end up throwing it up all.

I usually stick to green tea - especially in the morning.

It goes down much better than just warm Water, and plus it is supposed to be good for you with 0 calories, as opposed to some sugary or other drink variants.

In the afternoon, the cold drinks may work, depending on condition but never in the morning.

The whole point is, drink something that you will not throw up - I find that it has to be warm liquid, especially early in the morning.

Does anyone have any suggestion apart from green tea for 'warm liquid' for the banded people?

I have absolutely no problems drinking ice cold Water morning noon or night so I think this is another example of us all being on the same journey but with a variety of routes! Good luck getting suggestions that work for you :)

I have my morning coffee (which I know has caffeine and therefore can dehydrate you, but I gotta have it!). I don't find I have an issue with cold liquids in the morning as long as I don't chug them. And if I want to try to eat something, I'd better have a warm liquid beforehand, not cold (then I will bring it back up!).

Oh, Ill be sad if I can no longer have my frosty chocolate Pure Protein Shake in the morning. I hope Im one of those that can otherwise Ill do a mug of Decaf coffee...don't like a lot of caffeine and I hate hot tea. Plus I live in Az....we like our drinks cold because it gets so hot. It will be 92 today.

I also have no problem with ice Water or cold Protein shake in the morning. If I was unable to keep ice Water down I would consider myself too tight and get a slight unfill. Yes I am much tighter in the AM, but not that tight.

As far as ideas for something warm... I would stick to tea if I had that many difficulties.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
