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.
