Dehydration after surgery



Recommended Posts

So I have read many threads and personally spoken to a few people who have experienced dehydration after surgery. I am concerned as I am already not a huge Water drinker and I know the importance of it after surgery. I have ordered something to add to my water... picture below. Anyone else use this or a similar product?

I just used Crystal Light packets or the generic version from the grocery. I drank them for several months before surgery, but after surgery I could no longer stand the taste. So, now I just drink plain Water and it's totally fine. I track my water intake using an app on my phone to make sure I'm getting enough.

Whether you like Water or not, your JOB after surgery is to sip, sip, sip. I kept a 1 C. measuring (pyrex) cup and a shot glass next to me wherever I was. You really need to push the fluids, especially right after surgery. Try the flavor, see if it works for you. Good luck!

I am 8 days post-Op and was just recommended to try ZipFizz. They sell at on Amazon and at costco. In addition to electrolytes, it also has B12 which should help with energy when calories are low post-op. Otherwise I have been watering down G2 and Vitamin Water zero or drinking unsweetened iced tea. As @@DavidOso said, you will need to consume fluids like it is your job - so find what works to make that happen. Best of luck!

Zipp fizz is good, I’m not at surgery point yet (that’s June/July) but zip fizz does
Not count as carbonation according to a few of my doctors. Just another flavor additive for Water with bonuses

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
