You are getting dehydrated. You will get head hunger if you don't drink enough. The color of your urine is indicating that a well. Shoot for 100oz today to get yourself back on track. Good luck!

You are getting dehydrated. If you don't drink you will end up in the hospital. Try different temperatures. I liked warm versus cold but it varies....but you MUST drink.

Dehydration. You need to be getting at least 40oz in. I know it's hard. I'm one week post op and I'm constantly sipping to get in my Water.

Try milk of magnesia I take it once a week to keep me regular. The more you drink the less constipated you will be.

      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! 😞
