Can't get enough Water in. Can't get enough Protein in. When I eat I'm supposed to wait 30 minutes to drink but when I eat (now) I feel very dehydrated so I want to drink. Help please!!!!!


My doctor told me our minds will play tricks on us, making us think we are hungry when we are thirsty. This is because our bodies are trying to learn how to communicate with us now that we broke it's normal
routine. I'm freezing all my drinks and eating them like crushed ice because straight names me sick. Drinking is hard so use to being able to take bigger drinks. Gluck!!

I feel the same way.. I'm 8 days post op and I feel like I'm starving myself, even tho I'm not hungry. I'm having protien shakes, Isopure zero carb drink, cream of chicken, propel Water and that's about it.

When you are on clear or full liquids, there is no real reason to wait to drink. Liquids don't hang out in your pouch for 30 minutes. So if you are thirsty, drink!

Once you are into more solid foods it does become important to wait.

Docs want good habits from the start. But if you understand that you aren't waiting now, but you have to later, everything will be fine.

How many calories a day are you getting? I was sleeved a week ago and my first day home from the hospital I only had about 400 calories. I'm getting better now and getting in around 600-ish plus my water. I was worried in the beginning about not being able to eat enough to get Protein requirements. I have some non-flavored Protein Powder that I add to all of my Soups, too. I think that's helping boost the calories, too. Good luck!

      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
