Just keep sipping. Try different temperatures and textures. For a long while plain Water was the hardest thing for me to drink. Try infused Water, water enhancers, Decaf tea, sugar-free Popsicles, crushed ice, etc. Try ice cold, room temperature, warm (like tea or soup).

Just keep at it and make short-term goals. If you wait until you are hungry or thirsty you will never get it all in.

Sip, sip, sip.

Hi all! Sleeved on 7/13 and can't seem to drink enough liquids or get enough Protein. Was fine first two days. Now I seem to be very uncomfortable. Any advice or suggestions?

Hey I was sleeved on July 13th also! :D

I spoke to my surgeon after feeling dizzy and heart palpitations. Dehydration is a real problem after surgery.

He told me to get 40 oz of liquid in me, including meals.

Protein scoops with coconut water( 3x a day 12oz)

Protein with bone broth (4 oz)

Isopure flavored Protein Drink half bottle with added Protein powder (10 oz)

popsicles (4oz) and Water for whatever I'm lacking.

I hope this helped a bit. Congrats on making the choice for a healthy life!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
