WATER consuming enough - hard for me



Recommended Posts

It is so weird for me, since before coming off my PPI, I drank ALOT of

water. Now it just feels so strange going down.

I?ve always been one to drink close to 1 gallon of pure Water a day, so my mind is going crazy trying to just sip. I had to find other ways to add more Water to my diet. I drink about 3.5 16oz bottles of water a day and try to eat about two large glasses of sonic ice.

It works for me.:thumbup:

Will we ever be able to glug glug Water again? Sometimes there's nothing so satisfying on a hot summer day as chugging an icy water. Never again?:)

When I have my surgery I will put ginger root in my water, to give it a refreshing sharpness and to take care of nausea.

On the east coast we have the southern iinspired iced tea drinker. On the west coast we have the Asian inspired ginger spiked Water drinker. On the southern coast we have the Sonic ice eater. Anybody from the north (Michigan or Lake Erie coast?)have a recipe for easily downable Water?

Is this a great website or what?

Globetrotter - where do you get the ginger root and is it powdered form or an actual root - and how does it make the Water taste?

You can usually get ginger root in the vegetable section of a good grocery store but it's not important that it be the root, I just like it. I've suffered from a delicate stomach all my life; curvy roads, airplanes, cartwheels!! In my job now I have to fly a LOT and do so in really rough conditions so I had to look into all the ways to cure nausea. Typical pills and Patches do zip for me so I looked in the other direction and discovered that ginger has been a cure for nausea for thousands of years. You can get Reed's Ginger Chews, which are an all natural chewy candy, or crystalized ginger pieces, or pure ginger tea bags or the root itself. soak it, make a "concentrate" keep it icy cold and you have a sharp, spicy, refreshing drink that also keeps your tummy happy and nausea a thing o the past! =)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
