Hi everyone! Just joined from Argentina. I had my gastric bypass on June 25th. I am at the stage where every 90 minutes I am supposed to be ingesting something... a protein shake... yogurt... vegetable soup... and for the life of me, I just can't get myself to eat so frequently. Firstly, I am not hungry AT ALL, ever. And secondly, I am so busy with work, and life, and kids, that the day just flies by and maybe out of the 8 or 9 meals I should have had during the day, I had 4. There is also the fact that you can't drink any liquids with these meals, so every time I want to drink something, I remember I am supposed to eat... so I skip the water, do the meal, and the cycle repeats, so I'm barely drinking any liquids too, and I am of course, I am not peeing... maybe once or twice a day. I tried grouping the meals (for instance, I need to do 4 ounce intakes of yogurt, so I did 8 ounces in one sitting), but the doctor told me I am not supposed to do that, because I am forcing my stomach. This worries me, I don't want it to affect my weight loss. Is anyone else dealing with this?

Thank you all! I actually just talked to the doctor and he did say he considers all the shakes as liquid, so as long as I am incorporating the daily requirements with those (which I'm not, but I'll keep trying), no need to add a lot more "extra fluid"... I know, right?! 9 shakes daily, which can't exceed 4 ounces each and spaced out every 90 minutes. Driving me nuts.
