4 Steps To Stay Hydrated After Weight Loss Surgery

• Staying hydrated is an important part of the
  recovery process following bariatric weight loss
  surgery. Water is an essential nutrient that
  helps to prevent fatigue, headaches,
  constipation, dry skin, dizziness and it also
  helps to prevent more serious complications
  following your surgery.
• While drinking the recommended amount of water
  can be difficult with the smaller stomach pouch,
  it is still important to aim for a daily goal of
  64 ounces of water. To help you stay hydrated
  after weight loss surgery, follow these four
  steps

1) Have Water With You Everywhere You Go

• By carrying a bottle of water with you at all
  times, you make it easier and more convenient to
  get the recommended amount of water in each day.
  Fill your water bottle early in the day and set
  goals that will help you keep up your fluid
  intake. Forgetting to drink enough water is easy
  enough as it is, but its even more prone to
  happen if you do not have water readily available.

2) Sip, Dont Gulp

• One of the most important things to keep in mind
  is that your new stomach will not be able to
  handle large gulps. Big gulps of any drink, not
  to mention chugging, will lead to nausea and
  vomiting, which can develop into more serious
  complications. Instead focus on taking small slow
  sips throughout the day. You may even want to use
  a straw to help you slow down your drinking. By
  having water with you at all times, you will also
  make it easier to take small sips rather than
  feeling the need to chug some water at the end of
  the day just to get it in.

3) Do Not Drink With Meals

• Maintaining a healthy and consistent diet is also
  important as you recover from bariatric surgery,
  however your body will not be able to handle so
  much at once. You do not want to get full from
  too much water that you are not able to eat a
  meal. It is helpful to allow yourself 30 minutes
  before and after eating to drink water this will
  ensure that one does not replace the other.
