Hey all,

I'm having trouble getting my daily Water intake (64ounces). Any advice? Or any extra tips? Good flavor packets that we can drink?

I find that reminders, alarms, visually pleasing bottles, fancy detox style waters , zero cal Hot Drinks (basically making it fun) makes it easier

I like the true lemon line of Water enhancers but it is not sugar free , i think i use the sugar stevia blend but i cant do too much artificial sweeteners and i get enough in my Protein Shakes.

ooh, that's a great idea! I'm picturing fancy colorful shot glasses to give you that bit of "going wild" feeling! Make a drinking game out of it. Every time someone says or does something you have to drink an ounce of Water.

Yes. True I forgot about that. Are you doing any special teas?

Someone had told me about Hunt Water but I haven’t tried it yet

I like Vitamin Water zero. The orange flavor and xxx flavor are not bitter to me at all. After surgery I found a lot of the drink packets with artificial sweeteners had a bitter aftertaste that I didn’t notice before my surgery.

Nestle makes a bottle wattle with a light flavor that is nice too. Pure life I think it is. I also drink tea and regular water.

I do still have issues meeting my fluid goals, I have to work at it everyday to drink as much as I can. Just keep at it!

I second Vitamin Water Zero--tastes very good to me and sweetened with stevia rather than aspartame or sucralose. I don't like tea, but I do drink broth almost every day, and it's nice to have something hot.

I have orthostatic hypotension, so I am trying to get at least 90 ounces of Fluid per day instead of 64 so appreciate everyone's suggestions as well.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
