I am 6 weeks postop from gastric sleeve. I am on a regular diet. I can't seem to get in enough liquids throughout the day. I am having to force myself to drink when I'm not thirsty and when I still feel full from eating (maybe an hour after eating). I hate doing that because I know it's going to flush the food out too quickly. Does it get easier to drink? I know they say that your protein shakes/milk count towards liquid, but honestly my body needs straight up water to feel hydrated. And when I don't drink enough I sleep like crap. Most days I struggle to get in 48 oz.

I's tough I too struggle with enough water , remember you can put sugar free kool iad in it lemon oil is what I use, caffeine free tea, decaf coffee . So try some different things besides just water maybe that will help some.

Going with this - I think a lot of zero calorie things count if you need to change it up. I personally have been really enjoying Powerade Zero. (:

try some sugar free additions like koolaid/crush or lemon and a dash of stevia.
