Ow does everyone get all the Water in? I try and can't do it because I either forget or feel to full to drink. I managed to get 45oz today and that's a good day for me.

I try and keep a bottle with me when I can. I work in an office so I can always have something on my desk. I mix it up, Water, Vitamin water zero. I find I can drink the Vitamin water zero faster than plain water. I just feel so much better when I get in 64oz. plus. Forgetting you can work on, try a timer on your phone or watch. Good luck!

It's a struggle for me as well. I think there's only been 1 single day that I've made it to 64oz. I forget to sip - especially now that I am back to work. So, I'm renewing my efforts to hit that goal next week. Good luck!

I'm 3.5 years post op and getting Water in is still an issue for me. I have never drank a lot of fluids. After surgery plain water was impossible, made me nauseated. So now my water is mixed with crystal lite or the packets for Hawaiian punch.

I'm one month post op, and Im struggling for Water intake as well! Mine isn't the full feeling, it's the fact that Im so darn nauseous in the mornings from any liquid. Pre surgery I drank more fluids than most people I knew, but now...like you said 45 oz. is a good day. I am starting to be able to gulp a little with the water. Im hoping soon that will translate into more Fluid intake :/ Hope everyone can manage to stay hydrated.

Try this trick..8 oz every time you go to the bathroom. It adds up.

I'm having trouble too. About 1 week out and 48 oz is a struggle all day. Feel full all the time. It sucks! I hope it gets easier.

      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.
