What's on your menu today ( Wednesday) RNYers?

Oh sweetie I'm sorry you're struggling :(  I'm still pre-surgery so I don't have any real sound advice to give....what about ice-chips....I know you said you can't tolerate plain water but maybe if it's melting and trickling down your pouch will be less grumpy about it?

 I hope it gets better soon!

Thanks.  Ice chips were doing fine at the hospital so I think I will go find a restaurant with good ice and get a cup of ice to work on.  

Is good ice the little nugget kind?  

yep

Hopefully you found some, I know near here Zaxby's has it....not sure if all of them do but worth a try if you haven't gotten it yet :)

Saying some prayers for you!  Hang in there, it will get easier!

I couldn't stand the tate of plain water.  I used grape and fruit punch Crystal Light.  I used half a packet for a bottle of water and sipped on that.    It does get easier but remember you have just had a life changing surgery so cut yourself a little slack.  You've got this. 

Oh no! I remember that phase, so hard to get liquid in. Honestly, I think the lack of fluids is what had me knocked out more than anything. I froze sugar free Gatorade in an ice tray and then put a few cubes in a plastic bag before I beat them with I hammer into little tiny chips. I don't know why but just eating tiny chips at a time was easier for me. You could try that, hopefully it helps! I promise it gets better! Hang in there, you got this :)

The only way I could get meds down was with jello! I split them into small pieces (not crushed) and let the jello push them down.

I went and walked at the local YMCA on the indoor track and sipped.  I can drink easier if I am walking.  It took 3 miles of walking but I was able to get down 4 oz of poweraide zero.  SF popsicles and jello work better than other things to me.  I guess it will just be trial and error for a while.
