So I started getting up at the crackass of dawn to swim and I realized...



Recommended Posts

I realized that I swallow a lot more Water than I thought. As some of you know, I am almost 5 weeks out and am still fairly unable to consume anything that is more than a thick puree. I haven't not mastered much more than sip sip sipping and when I take too large of a gulp, I have big pain and middle school boy belches until the pressure is relieved.

During my hour swim (at 7 in the morning!!!), I watched the little old blue hairs that frequent the pool for the coffee and the newspapers turn to me in disgust as I would come up for breath, swallow a few drops of water and inevitably burp every 6 or 8 strokes. I used to be a swimmer in high school and college, so I am fairly certain I know what I am doing in the pool, it's just something I've never been cognizant of.

I wonder how much pool water I am actually swallowing and if I can count it as part of my daily needs.

:blink:

LOL...that is funny...at least you are getting in your exercise and that is fantastic! If you were able to gage the amount you take in I am sure that would count....Have a great day!

Querry-- why do the blue hairs look at you in disgust?

how to measure how much Water you swallow. assuming the pool has a scale, weight yourself just after you get in the pool, soaking wet then after your workout. water is eight ounces per cup. If the workout is long then there is a little loss from the exertion. may have to do it a few times and get an average.

Yeah my kids tell me that all the time. I think it is partly personality and mostly working in medicine for 31 years--there is nothing I have not seen.

      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?
