I drink plenty of Water - hot with a teabag and a splash of fat free milk. Other than that it has to be a really hot day for me to drink plain water. What the reminder should be is drink your Fluid. So long as the drink as low cal it doesn't have to be plain water. That is a myth that has now been debunked.

Elcee does it matter if the Fluid is caffeine or not ??

My doctor said Fluid is fluid, just get enough.

She also said try to stay away from caffeine.

Since no soda and I don't drink coffee, I have really cut back but I still have a glass or two of ice tea everyday.

That's a great reminder!

It's very important to stay hydrated, otherwise you may end up in the ER like I did without recognizing the symptoms of severe dehydration, the most prominent being nausea.

I focus on what my doctor has called "free fluids"...any SF and FF Fluid will count, from popsicles, Crystal Lite, to tea and Water. I was also advised to avoid caffeine..., but I have returned to having my daily glass of iced coffee in the morning.

I also always carry at least 1 bottle of Water with me, and sip constantly. I usually have around 80oz a day. I enjoy a flavored water which is carb and calorie free in several flavors, but I also like the plain water in certain brands.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.
