juliarh 35 Posted November 9, 2010 Ok I have a question...how in God's name are you drinking 64 oz. of Water a day???? I used to be able to do that and more in a day, now I'm lucky if I get 16 oz. of Water in a day, seriously. The 30 min. wait after eating totally messes that up for me I really don't know -- after about 3 weeks, it was just easier for me to drink water -- I drink it normally too -- no sippy, sippy, sippy -- so I really don't know. I just drink -- now some days I'm better then others -- on my bad days I'll realize 2 hours before bed that I have 32 oz. to drink and then I'm drinking like there's no tomorrow (and peeing in the middle of the night too ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted November 9, 2010 For me and the Water... I actually start my day with a 16.9 oz bottle of Water before I do anything (besides taking my PPI). That really sets the stage for my day. You're lucky Julia that you can drink your water with ease. It sure is easier for me now that right after surgery, but I still find it difficult to get the full 64 oz in, and unless I start my day with it - It doesn't ever happen. :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lamsunshine 2 Posted November 10, 2010 Julie, you are doing awesome. I had my surgery two months ago, and have lost same as you just a couple of pounds difference. I'm so happy for you, keep up the good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleeve 4 me 910 Posted November 10, 2010 Wow! Good for you! You have inspired me to try and drink more thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keeepitreal24 0 Posted November 10, 2010 I can't begin to tell you guys how happy I am with the sleeve and what a difference it has made in my life. It's just beginning to dawn on me that this is really happening and that I don't have to worry that I'll gain it all back or do something that will make the scale gods unhappy with me. I really really am so excited for my future -- I just can't believe it -- I feel like I have to pinch myself!! Thank you all for your support -- even though I haven't said it enough, you guys are the best! Starting weight: 303.6 Today: 249.2 wow....thats soo awesome... im on my 4wk today and ive lost 20. please give tips on what you ate and what you did to get those results!!! thanks marisa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But truth be told, I've always been more of a Water drinker the later in the day it gets, and I don't know why. You would think that after sleeping all night with having NO liquid that your body would be ready for water first thing in the am. But I find as the day wears on I drink more, more, more. Starting probably about 2pm....and right up until bed. The funny thing is my girls are the same way, downing water before bed...just like me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
