After 8 weeks from surgery down 45 pounds. But lost 6 inches on waist . Pants size was 42/44 now a 36. 2 x a week HIT training row machine,elliptical and 20 to 30 mile bike ride 2 x a week. But still struggle with keeping hydrated.

Great job! I struggle with fluid as well. I get about 36 oz. Less than the 48 I was told to get.

It's such a chore to eat and get fluid!

Yes it is a chore and struggle you had surgery 3 days before me. I’ve set alarms to remind me to eat but sometimes it works . If I’m not hungry I cannot force myself to eat. Good luck It might take some time to get a routine

Wow you're looking great, what a transformation already ??

I found (and still do) water really hard to drink, even though before surgery I was a big water drinker (only thing I drank apart from coffee). These days it just 'bounces back up'! What I've found works is adding some low calorie lemon and barley, or orange and barley cordial to my water, i make it really weak and it does the trick. Really important as I train a fair bit. I'm going to keep persevering with water as I don't want to keep having artificial sweeteners.

I've been adding Crystal Light to my water and I've been getting in my 64 oz/day
