Hello everyone!! I had my sleeve June 12th, been doing good, following meal plan and all however I am still struggling with my water intake. I have been losing about a pound a day however yesterday and today I gained a pound. There are no changes in my meal intake, is this normal?

Yes, your weight will fluctuate wildly in the beginning. It's ok. Good luck!

Poop. Poop. Poop. More poop. Water.

Be still and know it will happen!

(fluid intake is only 20-30 ozs per day) 

not good :( 

Thx for the responses - I for some reason am hardly ever thirsty - you think bad water intake may be contributing to weight gain? I know a pound or two isn’t a big deal because it will come off but I guess I’m trying to connect it to fluid intake so I can force myself to drink more.

Your body really needs that water to convert fat into energy.

Absolutely normal. Weight is never a "stable" thing but fluctuates depending on your bowel movements, water intake, sodium intake, etc. I wouldn't worry.

@Sirena2020 Lack of thirst is actually a sign of dehydration. 20-30oz/day is really only 3-4 cups, not enough. Drink-drink-drink

I did not know that water intake converts fat into energy, no wonder i’m always tired - good to know, thank you all so much I appreciate your responses and I will force that water intake, I know I will feel the difference soon - thx again!!
