Since getting home from the hospital, almost eight weeks, I have used a 12 oz wide mouth sports type bottle. It is short and not so overwhelming. I would just sip from it all day and keep refilling it as needed.

I have a 16 oz water bottle and I sip on it all day and keep refilling as need. I am 14 days post op. It is the same way I do the Protein.< /p>

Its funny how smaller Water bottles go so much easier for me... for example I have a big 48oz one that I can barely get through half of in a day but if I carry my small 16oz bottle I refill it at least 2x a day without even thinking about it... I know it's a weird mental thing but it makes hitting the goal seem much more obtainable

I used the cups for 2 weeks after getting out for of hospital while I was still on just Protein Shakes. Now I have a 20 ounce Water bottle. I make sure I drink 1 before lunch, one before dinner and one after dinner. That way I know if I have fallen short or if I am doing good. Its easier for me to keep track. As for food, drinks, etc. I measure everything specifically. Hope this helps.

I still use them occasionaly after 3.5 weeks. For some reason it's easier for me to finish my liquids if I have them out in the little cups. I think I get overwhelmed with more than 12oz containers. I sure do miss chugging back 8oz in 5mins!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
