Ok how much Water are you supposed to be able to drink @ 5 weeks out? I know your supposed to get 64 + oz ASAP but I can't seem to get much down. I feel like I have to sip 24/7 to get in enough.

I went in for my 3 week check up this week...he said just try and get in as much as I could. No set amount.

Also, I was worried about Protein...smae thing - Don't worry about it. Drink milk when I can for Vitamins and

to get in some calories with it.

the protien drinks become very important in this regards - you get your protien and your Water...

everone is different with Water. I used to drink 4-6 oz everytime I went to the bathroom, therefore I got at least so much a day. I have curbed it to about 2 oz, and I keep the littel disposable kiddo cups now, else I would spend a bit of time in the bathroom.

I do set aside some time and focus in drinking, if I cannto "see" that I have got in at least 48 oz. of water. I feel my body just needs it too much.

Crystal light with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored makes good drinks, and you can dilute it to a really thin drink. I am having crystal light wild strawberry, 8 oz normally prepared, with about 6 oz of ice (which is only about 3 oz water). and a scoop of Unjury strawberry sorbet...gewd!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
