Question: Can not drinking enough fluids stall your weight loss or slow it down?? Im having a hard time taking in fluids. Im barely able to drink 16.9 ounce bottle a day. My weight loss has slowed down. I only lost 3 lbs in the last 2 weeks. Kinda depressed about that. Im 5 weeks out and is down a total of 28lbs, but weight loss is slowing down. Is this because im not able to drink lots of fluids??

It has been my experience during weight loss that if I was not getting enough Water in daily my weight would stall. As soon as I bumped up the intake along with more Protein, the weight would come off quickly again.

Hang in there and keep pushing! Getting your fluids in does get a lot easier in time. :)

YEAH! It can:(, It makes your body holds to every little bit of sodium in and therefore the stalls and sometimes gaining! it is such a big goal everyday for me to keep drinking water! but it is either that or I Will suffer not only stalls but many other issues, like skin dryness.. smelly sweat.. headaches.. and many other unwanted stuff.. so challenge urself and o your best on your Fluid intake.

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
