Having trouble drinking your water?



Recommended Posts

I make my Water more palateable by chunking up a peeled cucumber, a whole lemon pouring water over it and keeping it all in the fridge. Very refreshing.

I am a fan of ginger too and I steep some peeled, chopped ginger in hot water and let it cool then add it to my water pitcher. Drinking water has always made me a little nauseous so the ginger helps, but I really like the taste of it.

Have you tried propel or crystal light to add to your Water for flavor. These two help me and I also need a little extra to drink the water each day!

You know, I've never had difficulty drinking enough Water until after my 2nd fill...I've always been good at drinking at least 2-3 liters/day before surgery, but now...not so good. Thanks for the suggestions. Anything will help at this point! :crying:

I am not a big fan of plain old Water either. If it weren't for crystal light, I probably wouldn't get any in.

I like the 4C stuff better than Crystal light...there's one in particular I've found palatable--the citrus Vitamin stick one. The reason I chose 4C (tea makers..) is because it's high in Vitamin C, even if it's not their "Vitamin" stuff. They have lemonade, fruit punch, etc....all with the day's vitamin C.

I prefer sugar free koolaid or unsweet tea if I'm not in a Water mood (it happens).

Cucumber and lemon at the same time? I've never heard of cucumber in Water, but I'm intrigued..

      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.

      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!
