Well unfortunately I'm writing today's blog with such an attitude. At 4 weeks out, I still can't even keep liquids down comfortably. I hate it! I was so stressed out and tired last night that I just got on my knees and prayed. I'm tired of crying, tired of the thirst (not hunger, but thirst!)... I'm sure when I get to my post op appointment I will be put on an IV for dehydration because I've taken in less than 20oz each day over the last week. I feel so unhealthy and can't even complain because I elected this. I'm sure this is PMS or one of those emotional stages we all go through.. But I definitely don't like it! On the other hand, I'm down 30 pounds. Here are my stats:

 

HW: 256

SW: 247

Day I left surgery: 258

CW: 226

 

Not too bad considering all of my clothes are sagging but my body feels really jiggly so I know I have to get in the gym and do sme weight lifting but I vowed to not do anything until I can keep down a set number of calories... Keep me in your prayers for I know better days are just ahead!!!

at this point, HYDRATION is a LOT more important that meeting protein and calorie goals... DRINK DRINK DRINK!!!!! in 4 more weeks this bad part will be a distant memory

Have you tried warm, cold and room temp drinks? Maybe you just need to find the right one you can tolerate and drink as much as possible. I find decaf iced tea is much easier for me to drink alot of then plain water. I'm a month out tomorrow and still only getting in about 32 oz. a day of liquids...but no dehydration yet (knock on wood). Hope things improve for you. Great job on the weight loss. I hope to see that same number tomorrow :)

Keep your head up, I went through a major depression around weeks 3 & 4 but now at 7 weeks I feel great & am doing just fine. U will get through this. Congrats on your weight loss.
