I am a person that is constantly on the dehydrated side. I don't get thirsty easily and I never think to reach and get a glass or drink of Water. I don't hate Water, I just am not a big DRINKER of anything. I have to force myself to drink things and with that in mind I have been overweight about 80 percent of my life.

I do think there is a huge connection, and I need to DRINK water.

@@MIMISAN one of my Water tricks is to aim to get to at least 50% of daily goal in before lunch. Once it becomes a habit, I drink more...kinda like it primes the pump for the day.

Having quality Water is so important.

I was talking with my mom about my grandmother the other day and how hard it was to get her to drink Water. She drank a lot of coffee. If I were my grandmother I wouldn't have drunk much water either. Whenever I visited her I couldn't stand the water. The municipal water tasted awful.

Quality Water is absolutely important. I'm very fortunate that we have a spring water cooler at work. I fill my 22 oz. water bottle first thing at work and often once more in the afternoon. I live in an older home and occasionally the water coming out the tap has looked discolored, particularly after a rain. Maybe old pipes? I just don't trust it and I never liked the taste. I buy spring water to drink at home. Having great-tasting water available makes such a difference. I feel very fortunate that I have these sources as options.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
