OK, don't yell at me, I used to know the answer but forgot so I need to ask you guys...

Other than to prevent dehydration, why do I need to drink so much Water? Does it help in losing weight?

i wont let anyone YELL at you crazy girl.

i find it helps me but you will get all sorts of answers to your question.

but i will only answer for me.

it helps me as if i am hungry, i drink and i find if i am not hungry but thirsty.

i drink alot and it def keeps me from (munching/grazing).

so if you thirsty, drink.

like a baby. if they are hungry or thirsty, they cry and fuss and when

their tummies are full, they push the bottle or spoon away.

yep, works for me.

I am a bad Water drinker but I remember that I was told it helps in losing weight and sometimes when we are dehydrated it makes us think it hunger so we eat when we don t really need to be...learning to do it again myself have a bottle in my car, one by my bed for first thing in the morning and one at my desk at work...

Like you said - it helps keep you hydrated, you aren't taking in as much food and food contains Water so you need to get it from the Water. 2 it does help you stay full longer. 3. it helps flush salt from your body, you may not eat a lot, but it doesn't take much to cause water weight gain. The water helps delute the salt and your kidneys flush it out.

I have also heard that it helps up your metabolism, but that wasn't from a doctor so I am not so sure I believe it.

I'm like CG, I drink when my head is playing games with my stomach. If I think I'm hungry and I shouldn't be. I drink. Now I am no fan of Water, so I keep a huge stash of Crystal Light/Diet Snapple packets in my desk drawer.

Hi Polly,

You asked the right girl here!! LOLOL Okay seriously, I am considered a 'water holic' if there ever was, I would be the first on line to sign up for recovery. hehhaaaa

Okay, added on to what CG said, there are TONS of reasons you should be drinking Water, just not to keep hydrated. But most importantly it "functions' our vital organs, like our kidneys and liver. Water is the bodys most important nutrient. And like CG said it 'fills her up' when she drinks it because she is right, water acts as a natural appetite suppressant.

Now, for vanity reasons you should want to drink plenty of it because it does wonders for the skin. Yes, drinking lots of water can help with aging, lines, and dry skin.

Well, you asked for it, and I hope I gave you the answers you were looking for, LOLOL

(now, go drink some water).....

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
