I drank from the time I woke up till the minute I fell asleep. I kind of set mini goals, too....16oz before I went to work. Another 16 oz before lunch, another 16oz before the end of the workday and the last 16oz before going to bed. I Kept a easy-to-sip-from bottle with me at all times and grabbed it every chance I had. It was a full time job and I was really sick of HAVING to drink all the time, but I just kept doing it. I got my 64oz fluids in everyday but it was WORK. It finally got easier after 3-4 months. Some people have set an alarm on their phones or watches to take a sip every 5-10 minutes. My drinking/eating restrictions were nothing 5 min before or 45 min after. Maybe this was easier than the typical 30 min/30 min. ???

It's an all day long thing, I've been getting in between 4 & 5 8oz glasses. I'm drinking the Premier Protein and only get two (30g protein) in. But I have got a cup of creamy Soup and a cream of wheat in and I'm stuffed!! 11 days post-op.

      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! 😞
