Hey, my name is Kim and I am so new to all of this, I am in the mid stages of being approved! Have had all testing done, I've meet with my nutritionist, and the psych evals! Anyway, back to my question, I am ok with the post diet and the Protein, and the foods. But what concerns me the most is the liquids...I drink probably 200 oz of Fluid a day...water, crystal light, etc.....before lunch I've usually downed at least 60-70 oz. the nutritionist and my health coach have been telling me to start sipping and not drinking with meals to prepare! I was wondering if anyone else drinks a lot of fluids and how they coped!!! I feel like I'm drying up if I don't have a drink near by!!! Any words of advice, encouragement would be so appreciated:)

Anyone found a good non sweet caffeine free tea? I'm not a sweet fan and fruit flavors I.e.' date='crystal light is getting old. Just want something besides plain Water...[/quote']

Crystal light is really good

Liquids still hurt my pouch. Doesn't matter if they are cold or not. Any suggestions? I'm 9 weeks post op

I would sip very slowly, and try room temp liquids. Not very palatable,perhaps, but better than dehydration.

You will probably change after surgery. Pre-op, I drank TONS of Crystal Light and Protein shakes. I drank all the time. I had surgery on 6/24, and now the only liquid that doesn't make me nauseous is tea. Seriously. I wouldn't worry about it until after surgery. Just practice sipping and you'll be fine!
