I had RNY on 7/15. I've lost 35 prior & 17 since. I'm doing great with Vitamins & Protein Drinks. I'm doing okay with foods(can't eat as much as recommended bc I'm full or no appetite). But I am struggling to drink all my other fluids each day! How are you getting your fluids in?

It took me over a month to be able to drink the 64 Oz daily. Just keep sipping!

Are you able to stomach broth and sugar free Popsicles? Maybe some Water flavoring like crystal light? Good luck!

I can stomach all fluids. I'm eating scrambled eggs & yogurt, etc. And for the most part I can handle it. I just feel like there is not enough hours in my day for fluids...small slow sips...if I drink too much or too fast I get horrible heartburn especially from plain Water. I guess I just have to keep sipping lol

Just takes time. It took me a while before I could get to 64oz of just Water alone. I was instructed 64oz of Clear Liquids, but I always wanted it to be just water, not counting anything like broth. Now I can hit 80oz daily with no problems. Just have to keep a water bottle nearby. I use one with measurements on the side, 20oz, and just keep taking swigs from it regularly.

It gets easier. I'm about 3 1/2 months out. For me it start at 6 am and I keep drinking until 11. I'm up on100 oz a day. You have to keep drinking. In the beginning I though I would never hit 64. Now before I leave for work I have already had 32.

      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
