Water And Working Out



Recommended Posts

I go to the gym at least 3-4 times a week to workout on cardio and strength. What I've noticed is it's difficult for me to drink Water while I'm working out. Is this normal? And if so, when should I be able to get fuilds back in me?

Good Morning! It's funny because I've recently realized the same thing. I used to drink quite a bit while working out, but now it doesn't quite sit well when doing cario. I don't feel sick or uncomfortable, just not quite right. I make sure that I rehydrate after the gym.

I started back going to the gym at 2 weeks and you will fit more fluids in as time goes on. I am at close to 6 weeks and can almost fit 16 oz during my one hour spin class. You are correct it feels sort of tight and it almost dosen't want to stay down. I continue to slip slowly and slowdown or stop to drink.. Good Luck.

I don't have a trainer, yet. But I started by going to a toning class twice a week and then doing cardio 2-times a week. Now I focus on curcit and cardio 3-4 times a week. As for motivation...it's more willpower then anything. Don't get me wrong. There are a few times that I only made it twice a week like this week, but I am determined to continue on the path to good health.

Working out builds on itself, I find. If I go regularly, then I want to continue going because I see results. If I let myself get away from it, then I don't want to go. As Nike says, Just do it! It's the only way to go! :)

I drink a lot when working out, but I am several months post-op. Early on, I really struggled drinking Water -- especially plain water. I found that flavored water was easier. You might want to try something like Sobe water or Propel. Both have flavors that are zero-calorie options.

does drinking more than 4 oz stretches the pouch?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        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!
