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.

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.

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

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.

I'm a tea addict as well. I cannot do plain water like I used to...

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!

      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.
