Hi, so I'm not getting enough fluids. I try to drink on and off, but I forget sometimes while at work. And , it's hard to get down a lot of fluids. Any advice on drinking more fluids??

Some people find that hot fluids go down easier, some people find cold helps. So experiment. I found that drinking hot during the winter (tea, hot cocoa [no sugar added variety]) worked well in the cold winter and cold fluids such as flavored Water (crystal light) worked good in the hot summer. I have recently started to drink Bai which I buy by the case at Sam's club.

I only drank room temp crystal light (fruit punch) for the first 2 weeks post op but now I love, love, love ice Water. All the time. I kept forgetting to drink as well so I would always get in 3 - 8 oz glasses of 1% milk each day and I would set alarms on my phone to remind me to drink

      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! 😞
