Excellent job so far.

Thank you

Nice! Congrats-your hard wok is paying off!

Thank you so much

Woohoo!! Awesome! You are 1 week behind me.. And kicking butt lol! Congrats

Just checking in I'm doing great I hope everyone is doing well also.

Just had mine on the 25th. So far so good. I am almost scared that things are going to well, and the walls are getting ready to come crashing down around me. 75grams protein, and 80oz of water today, and all three meals down, and staying down. Please pray for me to heal quickly!

Will do and good luck to you

Today I was just discharge from the hospital for being extremely dehydrated .I'm struggling with getting enough fluids with the protein and the three small meals. Any suggestions?

Below is the tip I sent another subscriber. Give it a try.

Guzzling was my style also. Same thing, I used my timer on my phone. I started setting it for every 12 minutes, and then moved it to every 8 minutes. This helped me get into the habit of making sure I am drinking all of the time. I also used a medicine cup for the first week, to train my mind how much water I should be putting in my mouth. So in summary, park yourself somewhere, fill up a sports bottle, set your timer for whatever time you prefer to get your water. When the timer goes off, pour the water from the sports bottle into the medicine cup, and drink that amount.......then reset timer. Use this system, and you WILL stay hydrated, unless your pouch doesn't like water........ I am and have been getting at least 80 oz per day. 3 weeks post op yesterday. Down 46 lbs!!!!!
