My beginning weight 337 hbu? & thank you <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I started at 232.

Tomorrow is my 6 week mark, had my check up today and Im down 40lbs from my highest. Its a good start.

Does anybody have any tips on how to get their liquids in? That's the part that kills me... I was never a drinker before my sleeve I would literally chug a bottle of water when I realized I hadn't drank anything all day. Needless to say I can't do that anymore but I still forget to drink.

That's something I discussed with my surgeon today since I'm chronically dehydrated. He said to sip all day and always keep a bottle of water with me. I asked if I could use a straw and he said if I think it will help then to go for it.

I am out post op 6 weeks everything is normal BUT I am getting dizzy spells every day I feel like someone sucked all energy from me It happens couple of times a day I even fell a couple of times but luckily I was not hurt. I went to my surgeon they diagnosed that my sleeve was too tight in the middle they fixed it with balloon but I am still feeling the same way I have been taking all my medicines on time got my blood work done which came normal my surgeon is very confused they checked me for dehydration but tests came normal a couple of times I had to pull over so that I can close my eyes and sleep.Once I feel weak I close my eyes and go to sleep for any where from 45 mins to 2 hrs while I have my spell I can't even move no strength at all and then wake up normal. Please help.

Check blood pressure and blood sugar at home. Meds will need adjusting at you lose.
