Hello all, I am 1 week post op and had been having a hard time getting my Water in. I tried everything so today I tried unsweetened iced tea. I don't know why but it goes down sooo much better.

Not sure what you question is here but if you want to know if it counts as Water I believe it does

Just make sure its decaffeinated, otherwise you're fine. Caffeine will dehydrate you and of course, defeat the purpose. Good luck :)

Tea goes down better for me too. I drink it all day.

Definitely get some Decaf since your still new on your sleeve. :)

I really liked Sleepy Time Tea right after surgery. So soothing! I still like it now, but I can also enjoy many other things at goal and over one year out. My newest find is sugar free apple cider mix. I found it by the hot chocolate. Great treat in the evenings as the temperature cools.

I decided to try chamomille(?) & lemongrass. So far so good no pain. I am not able to drink Water. My stomach starts hurting. I am tired of crystal light and Diluted Isopure ..

Sometimes the surface tension of Water gets to me and I add a squeeze of lemon in. That has just happened since surgery.

@alliecat, Yes I am also tired of Protein Shakes and Water too. I guess because I was drinking them before I actually had to that now i'm sick if them. I tried the Lipton tea and honey with mango and pineapple and the lemon, they are pretty good and I can usually drink the while cup, just takes awhile.

@James no it wasn't a question just stated a thought to see others view, I guess I did just leave it out there in left field...LOL!!

      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! 😞
