Aside from keeping you hydrated (which is fairly important! ;)), it helps the digestive process and a number of other ancillary benefits. http://www.onemedical.com/blog/live-well/6-benefits-of-staying-hydrated/

I still have a difficult time remembering to drink enough Water (I just forget!), but just gotta make it a point to do so.

Good luck! :D

The fat only has one way to exit your body...through Water. You must pee or sweat. I always stall if I don't drink enough water.

Does more Water increase weight loss success?

Not by itself. Water is good because it helps the plumbing, but you still need to eat a balance diet. Whether you strive for the 6-8 eight ounce glasses, or 64 ounces a day water is good for weight loss, better skin & hair. There is such a thing as water toxicity but that's an extreme condition that requires much more water than any of us who have had WLS could possibly drink.

At a recent pre-op support group, the RN explained that every 2 lbs of fat requires 8 lbs (?) of Water to process it out of our body. Since the body uses up the glycogen in our muscles first, we need to drink the equivalent of 8 lbs of water to convert the equivalent of 2 lbs of adipose fat to energy the body can use once the glycogen is used up.

      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! 😞
