Question:
Will hot water hurt my new pouch?

I love to drink plain hot water and I was wondering if it will hurt my new pouch after surgery?    — Geralyn (posted on April 10, 2002)

Hello: Hot tea has ALWAYS and still is my comfort. I am 8 mos post op and drink LOTS of hot tea every day. I work in my proteins by drinking half milk and half tea on some of the cups...When I am having one of those days where I really can't tolerate anything....My good ole hot tea always hits the spot...Good way to get your liquids in and try the milk thing for some added protein. p.s...no it won't hurt your pouch....I was served hot tea immediately after surgery in the hospital.......

Before I had wls, I couldn't get enough ice - we went through tons of it at home - good thing there was an ice machine at work, lol! But since surgery, I can't STAND anything cold! I want only hot drinks! I drink lots of decaf herbal teas and Crystal Light, in addition to just plain old hot water. People think I'm strange, but it's what does it for me! Good Luck!
