I have a question for you sleevers out there. How do you keep track of your Fluid intake? I was sleeved May 23rd and since then I keep a notepad and pen with me at all times. I tally every ounce of fluid that I have. Anyone else do this? Anyone have any other ways that they keep track?

Two things, I have a Water bottle that has the amount of liquid it holds (32oz), I know that I have to drink 3 of those a day....

I also use myfitnesspal to log food and drink. Once you get in the habit, it get super easy...there's an app for that. :)

On that same topic...do you include your Protein shakes in your Fluid intake?

My stalker-nutritionist says no, that Protein drinks should be counted only as Protein, so to keep her off my case I don't count that as Fluid. If I use a protein shot and mix it with Powerade, then I count it both.

I have a bottle that has ozs on it. I feel it up and drink it through out the day. It only goes up to 25 ozs so I have to refill it . I also keep of with what I have eaten that day and take into account about how much fluids that would be to.

Yes I include my Protein drinks. I actually write down everything I put into my mouth.

I tally by 4 oz drinks... And I count Protein Shakes (cause that's what my NUT said). Funny how different they all are...

I use a calorie counter Bracelet. It has round beads on it and a charm that I move past each bead for every 4 ounces I drink. It has a heart bead in the middle and that is my starter bead. It really helps me :-)

I use Myfitnesspal.com and it's great. I have the app on my phone, too, so it's always with me.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
