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.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
