Epic battle- Liquids vs Solid



Recommended Posts

How does anyone keep up their fluids with all these rules about waiting 30 mins before solid food and 45 mins after a meal. By the time I wait that long iv forgotten to drink anything at all?!? And if I spend my day keeping my fluids up I want be able to eat anything solid coz I will never have the 30min gap between my last drink to enable me to eat??? How does everyone else do it??? And does 1 sip mean I need to wait another 30-45 mins???

It's really not that difficult; having a plan will make it that much easier.

Try setting a timer on your phone to remind you to drink your fluids.

I don't know....I still find it to be a magical balancing act. 2 1/2 months out I still struggle with this.

My surgery was March 12 and I've ended up hospitalized twice for dehydration. .. not enough fluids mixed with vomiting every time I drank Water. I'm struggling with this something bad. I keep a shot glass at my desk marked with one ounce and have now started a tick sheet to drink one ounce every fifteen minutes. I feel nauseous all the time which stinks and can't wait for that feeling to go away. I've already lost 41 of the 120 lbs that I'd like to lose. I'm now back to liquids. .. My surgeon had me start all over. Try to get your fluids! !

I was sleeved march 10th and I felt the same way the first few weeks. Now that I'm feeling better it's becoming a habit I just eat about the same time each day and that gives me plenty of time to drink my Water in between meals. I wait about 30 min after eating is all. I was overthinking it in the beginning and it really does get easier. Just do your best and realize it's all worth it. Find what works for you. Good luck

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
