Since surgery (9/4/12) Water tastes disgusting to me. It has an almost metallic taste. I'm adding crystal light which helps but it has to be really cold. I'm super-thirsty and so desperately want to chug the bottle but of course get horrible pain if I take too much in. Does the water-taste thing get better? And will I be able to drink more volume more quickly as time goes on?

Well that's strange because Water LOVES you! ;) Water is going to be your best ally in this entire process.

  • It will flush all the spent calories and fat cells out of your system.
  • It will aid in the repair of your skin tissues as you lose the weight. I do believe it has helped my skin snap back as much as it did.
  • It will keep you hydrated as you will be eating less now, thus you will get less h2o from your solids.

Your body will be ever grateful if you keep up with your fluids. To answer your questions, yes the revolt gets better and yes in time you will be able to handle more water in one sitting. I'm barely 3 hours into my day and I've already gotten in 36 Oz. I'll be at 52 Oz in another hour.

Drink up!!

This is so true! When I don't get enough water, I feel so hungry and I eat a lot more! So let's all increase our water intake. :)

You can find True Lemon at a grocer. They come in little packets like Splenda. I got it to put on yogurt, but found it too tart. Will try it in Water. Watered down crystal lite isnt bad, but my digestive system is none too pleased with it.

      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?
