The weather sure is hot lately! Remember to stay hydrated throughout the day by sipping. It is not recommended to gulp or chug after bariatric surgery even if you are years post-op.

Hydration tips: Aim for 48 oz of fluid in your day minimum. With this heat 64 oz a day would be better, or more if you are doing increased activity causing sweating. Aim to make at least 1/2 of your fluid intake plain water. When having fluids with calories ensure you consume no more than 100 calories per day from these drinks.

Some different ways to stay hydrated without getting bored of water

- Herbal teas 🍵 - peppermint or spearmint are two herbs that make a great addition for some extra freshness.
- Fruit teas 🫐🍓 - Be careful not to purchase these teas with any sweeteners added. Check the label if uncertain.
- Infused water 🫗 - this is made by adding any cut fruit or fresh herbs to your water and letting sit. Overnight would be the ideal amount of time for maximum flavor but even just 2 hours could provide some flavor. "Hint" water is a brand of premade infused water available for purchase at the store for a more convenient option.
- Sugar free lemonade🍋 - if choosing a lemonade or juice with sugar this could cause dehydration as large amounts of sugar will need to be excreted (through urination) potentially causing a net loss of fluid.
- Decaf coffee/tea☕ - caffeine is a diuretic meaning it will pull water from your body, potentially causing dehydration. So, choosing decaf will give you the flavor boost without the water loss.
- Clear protein slushie🥤 - Take a clear protein shake, freeze into ice cubes, then blend for a slushie type of texture. You can also take a creamy protein shake and blend this with ice for a milkshake texture.
- Ice chips 🧊 - if you're having a tough time cooling down or you have a dry mouth, sucking on ice chips can provide comfort and hydration.
- Sugar free/no sugar added popsicles or sugar free Italian ice 🍧 - Outshine No Sugar Added popsicles or Luigi's Zero Sugar Italian ice are a nice frozen treat still appropriate for bariatric patients. Make sure to pay attention to the serving sizes for these.
