I'm 11 months out tomorrow. I had trouble with Water from day 1! My surgeon said to me that first day to have cordial in the water as it will help. In saying that since month 6 I have been fine with plain water. But I still have to have ice in all cold drinks. I just can't have cold out of the fridge temp drinks, they have to be icy!!!

Almost seven months out and I still have a problem with plain Water. I get nauseated, bloated and feel very constricted.

I love to drink the new freezes at Taco Bell. They don't upset my stomach at all. I know it's not Water but it's a little treat for me once in a while.

I can only drink plain Water if its really cold too - I've been having crystal light etc in my Water daily since coming out of the hospital. I know its not ideal, but I figure that its better than struggling to take in the Fluid...

I was dehydrated yesterday and the day before as I had been ill - boy that was nasty! get Fluid in any way you can is my advice.

I get nauseated from plain Water too. I loved water before so it bums me out. I've added the crystal light, kool aid drops and it's helped. It also helps to have something on my stomach. I know we have to wait for 45 min to 1 hour after eating to start drinking. But if my stomach is empty and I'm trying to drink, I will eat a piece if cheese and it helps. Empty stomach + water = misery.

I'm the same - 30 mins either side -that's what I've been following for the past 18 months anyway :)

My Center says 30 before and 45 after. I cheat a bit. Sometimes I take small sips with meals. If I get busy at work I won't drink for 2 hours after. I'm finally able to take bigger drinks. I think fluid goals are the hardest to reach.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
