Post Op Diet Question

I am 4 weeks post op and continue to have trouble getting all my fluids in.  Protein not a probem, but getting 2 L of water in every day is excruciating and near impossible for me.

I had the same problem pre op on Medi Trim and it slowed my pre op weight loss.  Any suggestions?  Do other drinks count?
Help!

i use plenty of the diet ice tea packets. It helps me get all my fluid in. I also drink most of my drinks at room temp. I know that sounds gross but it is WAYYY easier for me to get down.
Good luck

Hey Deb!

I am having a problem drinking plain old water, it just doesn't sit well in my tummy. So I have been drinking teas, G2 gatorade, vitamin water and diet iced tea. I still try once in a while to drink water it is getting a wee bit better but not as good as I would like.

I also struggle with getting my fluids in but find that if I switch it up a bit it helps some and keeps the boredom away!!

Hope this helps!

I am having no problem getting my fluid in now, I drink all kinds.  G2, Diet Ice Tea, Watered down orange juice, Neste Citrus Tea(hot and warm).  Milk is still a NO NO.

I cannot stand the protein drinks, I will not drink them.  I am trying to get my proteins from REAL FOOD.  Some days are better than others.

sounds like i will have to start mixing it up and trying different drinks and drinking at room temp.  
I guess we all have different experiences, I cannot stand drinking anything (except coffee!!) but easily like the Premier protein drinks....thanks for the help everyone!!
