I am having trouble getting my liquid goals of 60 ounces a day. I am 3 weeks post op and I get full so quickly and can't seem to drink enough. I usually end up with around 40 ounces of liquid a day. I have to stop drinking 30 minutes before having puréed food and can't drink for 30-60 minutes after having puréed food. There are many times I go a few hours without anything because I feel so full and sick. Do any of you have any tips?

I'm in the exact same place as you are.. I have found that I have to actually make out a chart.. and put times on it.. in order to get it all in... I chart every hour of the day and plan when I will eat (and what - Protein count) and when I will drink. It makes it a little easier to juggle.

I'm also using an app called Plant Nanny - it lets you grow plants as you tell it you've drank. You can make 4 custom size cups for your different liquid intake.. and choose which one you drank before you tell it you drank so it gives it the right oz. When the plant finishes growing it moves to your garden and produces seeds so you can buy more exotic plants and have variety... it's super fun and it makes getting in my liquid a bit more rewarding.

Thanks for the tips. I have tried making a schedule but sometimes I'm still so full from before to try to drink any more????

That app looks cute! I downloaded it and am trying to use it now. Thanks!

      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...

      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?
