I learned first hand today that even slight dehydration can be dangerous, especially if you already have low blood pressure. I passed out twice this morning resulting in tissue damage to my knee and back, along with a very painful broken foot. I also have to stay overnight in the hospital for monitoring. So sip sip sip!

I am always scared that something is going to happen to me because I don't drink enough. It is just so hard to do it but I am going to try harder. I probably only get like 1 to 2 16 oz bottle waters in a day. thats not good. I hope you feel better. That is so scary

We can do it if we pay more attention and seriously sip allllll day. It's just annoying and you have to dedicate yourself. That's hard to do but I guess we better do it before something really bad happens. We didn't have this surgery to get sick from it right. We want to get better from it. Let's do it! ;)

I try but drinking makes me a little nauseous. But I'll have to try harder because I am in so much pain. I can barely move.

I hope that you heal quickly! I'm sure you've tried different types of liquid- but just wanted to check... Sometimes for (seemingly) no reason Water makes me nauseous feeling, so I have to change it up with tea or something. Feel better!!

Tea is my go to. Water makes me feel ill unless its flavored. I've had three bags of fluids and my urine is still dark. Plus I just freaking hurt.

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
