Struggling 7 weeks out getting food in ( and staying in) and getting enough fluids. Ive tried everything - any suggestions?

I'm eating slow, but maybe not slow enough, thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely start being more aware and eat slower. Love your bars that show weight loss! How do you do that???

Last 3 days: Saturday: 1 bite of a hotdog (no bun) just mustard 10oz Water 1/2 Danon light and fit yogurt Sunday: 1/3 Protein drink 1/2 Danon light and fit yogurt 1/2 cup chicken noodle Soup 20 oz water Monday: 2 small slices of deli ham w/slice cheese 1 small lime Jello 20 oz tea (Lipton non-caffeine/diet) 2 small slices of deli ham Tuesday: hard boiled egg (1/2) Threw up after hot dog on Saturday, Sunday okay, Monday threw up after dinner of 2 slices ham. Today, queezy after egg, but keeping down

To me (and I'm not being mean). But if you are asking the question you are thinking about it! Why would you take this incredible gift we have been given and want to put anything in your body that a) is illegal b)could kill you??? Don't abuse this gift you won't get a second one and don't (please) take one addiction (food) and replace it with alcohol, drugs, or nicotine. It's a battle but you will be so proud when you hit goal and are healthy!

I'm 4 weeks out and still struggling with energy. I take a nap everyday, and I'm still tired if I try to do too much. It's getting better everyday, and the more protein and fluids I get in the better I do. Good luck!!

Live in Sacramento-weather also very hot. I, too, struggle with my fluids. It takes all day to drink my 20oz Diet Snapple. I used to down a large Pepsi in about 10 minutes. Always been a guzzler. Doc said just always have fluids on you at all times which I do and I sip constantly. When I do gulp I feel like I'm going to vomit so I have to remind myself to slow down. I'm one month today and this has been the hardest part...the fluids!

I'm one month today and only 19lbs down. Which is about 5lbs a week. Very happy with progress. 60l lbs since January. It's a slow process but it took a long time to get to "obese". Doctor said stalling occurs and this is when you need to pick up your activity! Good luck!!!

Surgery June 11th - feeling good but weak. Having a hard time getting liquids in- only about 30-40oz a day. Lost 16lbs, but honestly not sure if it's the surgery or lack of food. Surgery Dr. Yanamula Kaiser South Sacramento.

June 11th here! 254 on December 11th (day of referral) to two weeks out 193. Now if I could just get 64oz of fluid in me!!
