I think you are correct, drinking all my fluids has been my biggest problem. Prior to surgery I drank at least 80oz with no problem. Now I'm lucky to get in 36oz. Not using a straw is making it difficult for me.. any suggestions?!?

Yes I'm 66 but I've always had nice skin.. but I guess dropping 59lbs 6 months has something to do with it... I really think I'm not drinking enough Water, I was always a big water drinker.. need to make more of an effort!

Yes hopefully it helps! I drink water but not 80 ounces more like 24 on a good day. And it took me about a year until I could drink a cup of water at a sitting. I had to wait until my stomach stretched. I used to be able to take small sips only so I was never able to drink anywhere close to 80 ounces! And then you have to wait 30 mins after a meal to drink and then eating every 3 hours like omg how do u get that much water in and eat?! It probably would be good for my skin too. But maybe I'll just have to wait till able to afford skin surgery.

      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! 😞
