I feel like i just cannnot meet my Water goals. Trying to drink that much, even spaced out makes me wanna vomit. Any tips? It’s only been a week since surgery so may w it just gets easier once i get to the next diet stage?

are you counting other fluids toward your goal, such as Protein Shakes? I counted all fluids.

I couldn't reach mine either but I tried and I stayed hydrated even though it was less than recommended.

You know your other liquids count as Water too, right? Iced tea, Protein Shakes, coffee - anything liquid counts as your water intake. Mix it up. Have some hot tea. Have some crystal light mixed in your water. I never drank straight plain water, I always used a sugar-free flavored additive. I still do.

Thanks guys! I figured it out. I was counting my shakes, but i wasn’t counting my broths and Soups, once i did things got MUCH closer to the goal.

I found I had challenges after surgery getting enough liquid. I was able to drink small 1 skim milk chai latte after the first week. I since then have added crystal light drinks to up my liquid intake and this got me through. I could always drink 1 glass of Water relatively easily but would get nauseous after that, but when I added the flavor to the water it became way easier.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
