3 days out im not getting enough H2O



Recommended Posts

Hi I had surgery this Monday 3/31/14. I'm only drinking half a water bottle is this normal? I don't want to get dehydrated. Any advice? I'm taking a sip every 7 minutes. I feel like I'm not meeting the Expectations yet.

You aren't meeting expectations....it takes a while so just keep at it. I'm 7 weeks out and I'm still not meeting my Water intake levels. It's a process we all have to work at so don't stress too much. It will come.

Hey my surgery was 3/31 as well. I'm taking in about 40 oz of water a day. I try to get in 4 oz every hour. I use a small cup which helps a bit. I was told by the nurse that is starts off very difficult to get the water in which is why they fill you up with IV fluids. Good luck to you!

I was told to take a drink every 15 min of room temp Water it goes down better and eat at least 1-2 sf popsicles an hour

      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? 🤷‍♀️
