Question: Can not drinking enough fluids stall your weight loss or slow it down?? Im having a hard time taking in fluids. Im barely able to drink 16.9 ounce bottle a day. My weight loss has slowed down. I only lost 3 lbs in the last 2 weeks. Kinda depressed about that. Im 5 weeks out and is down a total of 28lbs, but weight loss is slowing down. Is this because im not able to drink lots of fluids??

Thank u missdiva.. how far along are u?? Im gonna try my best to increase my fluids and see what happens. Thanks for the advice.

Lol.. they did tell me it was gonna be a journey. Guess i better strap on my seat belt cuz i have the feeling its gonna b a long ride :-)

Thanks so much!! That story is so inspiring... Im just happy to know that im not the only one going threw this, and I have support from others that are going or went threw the same thing. Thank u

Im 5 weeks out and also was going threw the same thing. What worked for me was eating a lil bit slower and taking smaller bites. Also make sure ur not drinking anything atleast a half hour before you eat. Its hard to know when ur full im still struggling with that part. I guess as we get further along the signs will be stronger... Good luck

Quick question.... Is my dr office the only one that reccomends a "no carb" regimen?? The only have us eating 1 meal per day, other 2 meals are protein shakes. Does it really matter if I eat a lil bit of carbs my stomach can only hold a couple of ounces anyway??

Thanks for the advice Megan. I guess as i get further along i will know what my body can or cant tolerate, and foods that will stall my weight loss. This is definately a journey, but its all well worth it.

Im 1month and 4 days post op. I go to meet with my nutritionist this wednesday so im definately gonna ask her. It just seems like my dr office is the only one with this strict regimen. Even during the liquid stages we couldnt have soup or broth like alot of other places. We can only have 3 protein shakes a day, crystal light, and water. Maybe they do it that way so we can loose weight quicker im not sure. I know i want some spaghetti though lol.

Thanks... I really dont want to go against my regimen, but im so craving for a lil spaghetti. Even if i have to use the ground turkey. Im a month post op and i start solid foods on wednesday. What does ur nutritionist say about beef??

So im 3 weeks post op and for some reason I have such bad mood swings its scary. Is this because my harmones and body is changing?? Anyone else suffer from this??

Oh ok.... Yes im very dependant on the shakes as well since its hard for me to eat anything

Thanks I feel better knowing that im not alone. Are u still on semi-soft food?? Im having problems eatiny my 3oz of protein and 3oz cooked veggies. I take 3 bites of food then cant eat anymore.

Im 3 weeks post op and i still have that problem. Maybe u can try what my doctors office suggested to me. Take a medcine cup they equal one ounce. It should take you 5 minutes to drink that. Its easier to time that way. Let me know how u make out. Good luck

Congrats i also had my surgery 2/8. Im down 31 lbs. I also had a stall for a couple of days my nutritionist told me because i wasnt taking in enough protein. I have been drinking the eas protein shakes which have 17 grams of carbs. The nutritionist told me to add a half scoop of the protein whey powder into my shakes then drink them my weight loss is now back on flow. Hope everything works out for u.
