Wk#3 Trouble With H2O Intake

Congratulations! Keep up the good work!

It is hard to get the water in for some reason. As weeks go by, you will get it in. i am 3 weeks out and I still can only get about 16 oz of fluids in a day. Pre surgery I used to drink a little under a gallon of water a day. I think I get discouraged because i cant drink it, like I want to. Sip, stop,sip stop,sip wait 30 min for that to go down and then start back up again. That sucks

i am 3 weeks out n i find it better if i freeze the water , it feels so good lol.. n also nice cold crystal light hmmmm.but still cant get the required amount.

Hey ladies :-) Thanks for the feedback! I thought it was just me!!! Today, I drank 2 1/2 poland spring bottles and I am currently sipping, stopping, sipping and stopping my 3rd bottle (as mynewbeginning2 described). I am a water drinker, but it's rough! I sampled a 1/4 of a cupcake today and it sent my tummy into a little frenzy. I was belching for nearly 30 minutes.

I am new to this website today and finding it very helpful. I too am finding it so hard to get in my water. I find with not being able to drink before or after eating (for that l/2 hour I was told) and then drinking the protein shakes. I drink two per day. I find it so difficult to drink the water and I just seem to feel it is a real struggle. Consequently I worry that I could be losing more weight if only I could drink more AND, I am SOOO constipated. I tell myself that I am not eating very much so perhaps I shouldn't expect lots of BM's but really I am only having a small amount once a week. I will see my gp for first time since surgery six weeks ago and hope she will have good advice for me.

Tennis at two weeks post op. I was told to wait six weeks before exercising. Now I have reached that mark and will have to dig very, very deep to motivate myself as I have always hated exercise. I am wondering if the WiiFit that I bought is sufficient as a starting point?
