Question - can I get sick from drinking regular Vitamin Water?



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm 4 days post op and I messed up. I purchased Vitamin zero but regular Vitamin Water was on the same shelf and I picked that one up too. I didn't realize t until after I drank it. Can something bad happen. I didn't get sick from it.

Hi, no don't think so. If you didn't get sick I wouldn't worry about it. There is a Protein Drink called Isopure, it comes in a lot of different flavors. No sugar, 40g Protein, 20oz bottle, it's really good, no after taste. Blue Raspberry is my favorite. I was about 4 weeks out when I had a craving for a Clementine, so I ate about 3/4 of a small one and OMG I thought I was going to die for hours! So that's what you call a mistake....don't do that! Lol Good Luck

Yes I know that. I accidentally drank it thinking it was zero. That'a why I posted the question. I was wondering if anything can happen.

Dumping can happen

Vitaminwater is High in liquid Sugar, and May Contain Just as Much Fructose as Coca-Cola. One 20 oz (591 ml) bottle of Vitaminwater contains about 120 calories and 32 grams of sugar, just about 50% less than a regular Coke. However, it differs between countries which “type” of sugar is used.

After RNY gastric bypass surgery the part of your stomach that processes sugars and fats can be cut away. Therefore consuming sugar can produce dumping. Not all people are affected the same way by the surgery so that may account for your lack of dumping.

I made this mistake too! I was lucky enough to catch it before I drank it, but not before I wasted the money on it :(

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.

      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
