5 Days Post Hard Finishing A 16 Oz Bottle Water Help



Recommended Posts

I feel that I'm starting the phase of dehydrating, my urine is starting to darken and have a slight smell to it. I don't feel thirsty or dehydrated yet but Im scared I'm not getting enough fluids for the first week. I try to have a bigger sip but my stomach won't allow me to swallow that much so I'm taking in a lot of very small sips but it's taking too long and I can't even finish this bottle yet.

If you're getting dehydrated, then you need to let the Dr. know. If you wait too long that could be dangerous. I know it is hard to drink right now, but the key is to sip all day long. You need to start early to get all your Fluid needs in. But, I think you need to call your Dr also. Good luck.

I'd let your doctor know. The first few days for me I would chew ice chips and popsicle. For some reason doing those things were just easier for me then sipping. Also try doing different temperatures.. Ice cold, hot tea, room temperature.... I have found that at different times different temperatures work better for me. Also, if you are allowed it try Jello. Those are all items that aren't "liquid" but count as fluids. Good luck!

Adding Crystal Light or Propel to Water can help a lot. Plain water is sometimes hard for me even 2,5 months out. I still use a lot of sugar free popsicles to bolster my liquids.< /sub>

Try drinking some g2 gatorade it helps with the dehydration.

I still have difficulty getting Water down. I drink low calorie gatorade, water, light cranberry juice, Protein Drinks, and hot original tea, Decaf. Gatorade has a tendency to bother my stomach. Water also bothers my stomach. I just keep on drinking. ;)

I drank one ounce every 15 minutes while I was up. I watched the clock and used a measuring cup as my pitcher and a shot glass or a one-ounce medicine cup as my drinking cup. It took the whole 15 minutes to finish the ounce because I had to take small sips, but breaking it down and measuring it helped me get in my 64 oz. every day until I could take bigger sips.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
