Hi,
This is my first time here. I was sleeved October 29th and have lost 50 pounds total with 14 the last two months. Definitely in a slow down but here is where I have issues. I cannot drink water of any kind. I get horrible heartburn from it and think that is freakin' weird. I can drink protein shakes but water no matter if Crystal Light or flavors I get horrible pain. I also cannot eat chicken as it does the same thing. I know we are supposed to hit 64oz of water a day so do I just drink protein shakes now? My doctor has had me try every thing on the market to get water intake as he has stated Protein Shakes are not part of the fluid intake. Any insight here on what I can do?
Thanks!
