I know what you mean! I keep a variety of the Mio water flavors handy to mix it up. I have also been making iced tea using Decaf tea bag and a mint tea bag... My taste bud's are definitely changing. :)

Good luck!

I struggle with water too. I do best with room temp flavored water. I also drink herbal tea and occasionally steamed milk with sf Syrup in it (so good!). I have to schedule my beverages. I try to drink one 24oz bottle in the morning, one in the mid afternoon, and one in the evening before bed.

I was sleeved 2/25 & I'm down 36 lbs. April has been a very slow month. I added in exercise April 5th and have only lost 6 lbs since then. I'm trying to increase my calories but its do dang hard. BUT I'm looking HOTT. And I have a friend that gave me 9 garbage bags full of clothes do I'm enjoying playing dress up. Oh I forgot to mention I had lost 40 lbs pre-op so I'm down 76 lbs all together.

I don't know how you are on Protein but I've found that if I pick up my protein I lose more!

I can drink Water but forget after waiting 45-60 mins after eating. I did a body analysis which said I am technically dehydrated.

How's my February Sleevers doing??? I miss talking to you everyday. Funny how we get back to our everyday life of working, family, and school and not so focused every second on our sleeves. I sure am glad I did this though. It feels great to be 50 lbs lighter!!! Hope you are all doing well!!!

I got a special scale which measures body weight, bmi, Water weight, bone density, muscle mass, etc. I also went to my doctor who had a professional scale with the same measurements for confirmation.

You can go to a website 1saleaday.com or Amazon to find them. They range from $30-200. The one I got was really accurate it was within 1 pound of the o e my doctor has.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
