I will be a year post op in December and I am currently struggling with fluids. I was never a big water drinker pre or post op during the fall/winter season. However, during spring and summer I do well on liquids. Now I am getting in an average 16 oz a day, I am still getting in my food but even that is getting skimpy. Any ideas on low calorie drinks (I don't like tea) and are meal replacements an option this far out?

I'm sorry but this sounds like no brainer - if you can drink physically in the spring and summer I don't understand why you need help this far out just because of a season change? I'm confused?

This sounds like a mind game. You have to drink or you will ruin your kidneys - do you want kidney failure, heart problems? I am serious.

I know how you feel I'm the same way, I found out that when I use crystal light in my water it's much easier to get down, I buy the single packets and put them in my water bottles it works great !

@Lise2021

every morning i drink GNC/Total Lean

Shake (swiss chocolate) - helps get

my protein for the day. (25 gr) 14 oz.

liquids! the crystal light is an old

but true good suggestion/idea.

gotta push yourself, you must!! easier

said than done. But do it, for me? lol !!

@Sosewsue61 - for me too, it's easier to drink

when the weather is warm -(referring to

different seasons) i am more thirsty.

@Lise2021 - drinking to your health!

good luck
