  1. I'm in my third week and feel like Ive been really making great progress. Focusing on staying hydrated and keeping everything soft that goes in. The weight loss is phenomenal. My peak was 334 and I'm at 285 now. I prob know the answer already but is it normal to have a bad day? I've felt weak and yucky all day. Hard time drinking water and anything in my mouth just was not feeling welcome. Appreciate any thoughts and experiences. I forget that I'm still in the early stages and in my head I expect everything to be normal. I get tired so easily. Yet some days I'm livin the food life.
  2. Also. Going into a stage where I need to focus on protein. 60g a day seems intimidating. Any tricks or advice. I'm still trying to get enough water/fluid in me and that seems like quite challenge.
  3. One of the big Qs I have is does it get easier to drink water. My biggest challenge is keeping hydrated. I'm constantly sipping something but I notice I wake up in the morning and am quite dehydrated. Before surgery I was a water guzzler and don't have that option any longer. I don't expect I will be able to guzzle anything in the future but does it get easier to drink?
