I live in Iowa, United States.

Mixing some G2 or Vitamin Water Zero (zero/low.calorie sports drinks) with my water has really helped me get in all of my fluids.

I like Syntrax Nectar Cappuccino flavor. It's a nice break from the over sweet flavors, also Unjury sells Chicken Broth flavor, Isopure has unflavored you can add to yogurt or soups.

You might be getting dehydrated if you are not drinking enough water. Dehydration can feel almost like flu symptoms.

I had the same thoughts, I started thinking I didn't really need the surgery....then I went and took a before picture. Nothing like seeing that to remind myself that I really needed help.

Try drinking warm or room temp water/fluids it may go down easier.

I was told protein shakes do not count towards water totals...Vitamin water or G2 does though.

My surgeon explained that although you are feeling this in your throat it's actually your stomach. That may be when you are full, but if you have just started eating try to take smaller bites (pencil eraser size), chew 20 times and wait 1 minute between bites. There is an app called Eat Slower that may help w/ that. Good luck and congrats on your weight loss!!

My surgeon said @ the last support group meeting that this is a signal you are full. The top of your stomach sends the signal to your throat. She said to try taking smaller bites (the size of a pencil eraser) and making sure you are waiting a minute between each bite. Maybe that might help????

nectar Protein shake mix and Isopure both have high protein and zero carbs
