I am 4 wks post-op and would love to communicate with some nearby sleevers!

Hi. I had my surgery at OLOL in br. I'm 2 weeks and 3 days post op. Down 23lbs. I'm trying to stay hydrated bc I'm on verge of being dehydrated. I can hardly drink water it just doesn't go down well. Trying crystal light and powerade zero. Hoping it all goes well. How are u?

Wow!! You are doing AWESOME! I'm only down 20.5 lbs since surgery. I have trouble with getting my fluids in, too. I use Crystal light, too and I've been on Plexus Slim since Aug. (lost 18 lbs pre-op.) I would rather have the satisfaction of food than be hydrated. I know that's wrong, but my issue is that I equate food with socializing, and feel left out. :-/. At my 3 wk visit, I was told I could have whatever is tolerated. Who did your surgery?

Dr. Leblanc. And who did urs? Where did u have it? I just started puree stage past Tue. Not all things are tolerated and not very much either lol. I know that's how supposed to be but still so wierd to me that 7 bites can fill me up. Today I skipped my protein and trying drink 32oz powerade 0. I'm so scared to be back in hospital dehydrated.

Dr. Hausmann, OLOL. Isn't LeBlanc in that group? Are you eating the sugar free Popsicles? That helped me a lot with hydration.

I am in Denham Springs. I was sleeved July 8th..and I am down 57 lbs. I am about 15 to goal. Dr. Bellinger did mine.

Yes I think so. Yes I can eat popcicles and ice but just water won't go down easy. I'm praying for this all to line out quickly bc i ts making me crazy lol. I don't throw up just queasy feeling.

Have you always had a problem drinking plain water or just since the surgery. I seldom drink plain water-- always add my plexus or crystal light. And I'm a tea addict.

That's super! I was 256 in May, 235.5 pre-op and I'm 215 now. My goal weight is 135.

I'm in Walker, Dr Hausmann did my surgery at Woman's Hospital

I am loving the Splenda add-ins at Sonic. I get the Route 44 unsweet tea with mint and mango add ins ( sounds gross, but it's so good!). I wish I had gone to Woman's. Wasn't crazy about OLOL, but Dr. Hausmann and his staff are great!

I wanted to go to womans too but my ins wouldn't let me. I love drinking water its been just since surgery I can't. It has taken me all day to drink 32oz today

Thinking I may need get iv fluids but not sure :/

Do you feel bloated or nauseated when you drink it? I know we are advised not to drink through straws, but I bite it and sip and it goes down more easily and doesn't fill up stomach so quickly.
