Water



Recommended Posts

I have been getting enough Water in me here lately. Is it ok to drink flavor water and do it count as our water intake?

I wanna say yes! You mean like with Crystal Light? My sister had bypass 7 years ago and she always said that that counts because after all it is water!

When I went in for my pre op class, my nutritionist said to include all Clear Liquids towards your liquid intake. I counted Water of course, but then also clear protien drinks like Isopure, Vitamin water, Powerade zero, propel, sobe lifewater, crystal light, and even broth. I plan on trying out TrueLemon, I heard is like a water with lemon, just like at the restaurant :P

I was overjoyed, because I knew I would get tired of plain water...So I went shopping...

Like MM said all liquids count except alcohol & possibly caffienated drinks

In addition to Water, I use flavored powder mixes, iced T, iced coffee (decaf), even watermelon (yep it counts :P). And I use splenda (all are sugar-free), also, I like the s/f popsicles too.

Hope this helps you out :)

      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! 😞
