Great idea for getting in fluids for summer!



Recommended Posts

Since the heat will kick it up a notch during summer I think something refreshing is in order. How about a shave ice with Torani or Davinci sugar free Syrup? I'm going to get in about 8 oz of Water with each one but I can adjust the size as I progress after surgery. Flavorful, refreshing and easy to eat! Hawaii Ice is a great one to buy- comes with circular solid ice molds for lighter fluffier shave but you can use regular ice cubes and it's still pretty good. Try pineapple, watermelon, grape, root beer, orange etc....yum!

Sounds like a great idea. Do you know if we are allowed to eat ice? I seem to recall it adding air to your stomach and therefore not recommended. I could be totally making that up. I wonder if you could make popsicles the same way with just Water and Torani Syrup.< /p>

I've never hear that! It seems it would be just like eating food or drinking- shave ice is pretty compact- if you can have sugar free Popsicles post op you should be able to have this. I'll check withy surgeon to be sure though at my surgery consent signing day. You probably could make Popsicles out of it too!

Yummy lime shave ice for dessert- calories 0! Not nearly as good as Hawaiian shave ice, but it works.

      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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
