How do you get in 64oz of Water?

I've been getting my 64oz in since the beginning. I start sipping as soon as I wake up and stop about an hour before bed. I typically get 72-80 oz a day.

Had surgery on 6/25 and I'm eating Tomato Soup, Protein Shakes and sf pudding, Greek yogurt because of the small amounts of each thing, I'm not getting enough Protein and have been getting up every morning feeling weak. So today I went to supplement store and got some unflavored protein to put in my Soup and a new flavor for protein shakes hoping to encourage myself to eat more protein. Haven't been doing the best with drinking either. Have to step that up.

I wake up at 7 am and go to bed at 10pm so I do about 4oz of water every hour....I know its TMI but my Doc told me to get my urine as pale as possible thats sign of good hydration. :-) so far mine is almost transparent

Had surgery on the 25th as well. The most I've drank is about 16 oz and maybe just a swallow or two of Protein. Even the unflavored protein that used prior to surgery does not sit well. I'm just not hungry. Down 13.80 lbs since surgery.

Hello

Im not sure what I understand for " doesn't set well" what do you feel exactly? So far I have not vomited anything :-) so Im happy

Aline... If I don't brush my teeth immediately upon waking, I could gag! My mouth feels gross most of the day as well.

Mine too and the Protein Shakes don't help, they seem to leave a horrible aftertaste in my mouth. It seems like I've been brushing my teeth 10 times a day!

Try a vegetable puree' date=' such as sweet potato, carrot, or cauliflower, with some unflavored Protein Powder added. You can add some chicken broth, butter, milk, or other seasonings. Also, I like pumpkin pie, so I was thinking of trying some pumpkin puree with vanilla Protein powder & pumpkin pie spice. Could do an apple pie version with applesauce, vanilla powder, & apple pie spice.[/quote']

I've been doing 2oz of fage 0% greek yogurt mixed with 2-3 tablespoons of motts natural no sugar added apple sauce and sprinkling some cinnamon in with it its approx 6grams of protein and tastes just like apple pie...you could prob add a little protein powder if you wanted to kick it up, but even without its a satisfying little treat :)

I had the surgery 1 week ago today. Feeling pretty good so far...still a little achy, but each day I feel leaps and bounds better. Here are my stats so far:

Highest: 333.4

Pre-Op Diet Start: 274.4

Surgery: 266.6

1 Wk Post-Op: 261.2

Notes: I'm 5'6" tall. I did weight watchers for 1.5 years before approaching a doctor about the surgery. Weight watchers tapered off and I was struggling to continue losing. My pre-op diet was 2 weeks...and I wasn't perfect the whole 2 weeks, but I really tried.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
