I am pre op. How much Water can you drink at a time? I need a lot of water while exercising. I know I will need less as a lose weigh. How will I handle the after surgery?

You will very used to taking small sips. Unfortunately for me, if I take too big of a sip or sip too soon after eating, I get the dreaded "slimes". Before my surgery, I chugged Water like you won't believe, and it was definetly a concern of mine too. Don't worry you'll get enough water in, it is just a change in habit. Sip sip sip all day! Good Luck!

Laura, not to worry. I love to chug Water too. I am a year out now, and I just started by taking sips, drinks, then chuglettes, one chug, two chugs...you see the pattern. Usually four good drinks and my need to chug is satisfied. In the mornings while I am getting ready for work, I keep a 16-oz glass of Water on my bathroom vanity and I have a 16-oz mug of hot tea (decaf). By the time I leave for work I have finished the glass of water (I take a total of 11 pills in the morning, usually in one swallow) and most of my tea. Then at work I have a 20-oz mug. I always have at least one of those and usually two during working hours. Then more meds at night. I have no trouble getting in all my fluids daily.

I know we are all different, but if you really like your H2O, I'm sure you will be able to gulp again one day. Water, etc, just goes right on through. I have never thrown up just water. The only problem I have is with food when I eat the wrong things or don't take enough time. You will find your way through all of the adjustments, trust me.

Expect the best for yourself.. few complications, quick recovery, quick weight loss...and hopefully you will be one of us who has a good experience with the sleeve. My heart goes out to those on the forum with complications and difficult times. I know it a bad deal to go through those tough times. But I think you will be glad you made the decision to travel this road with us.

When is your surgery and who is doing it?

God speed and blessings on your journey. Keep us posted on your surgery date and progress...Kathe

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
