Ok how much Water are you supposed to be able to drink @ 5 weeks out? I know your supposed to get 64 + oz ASAP but I can't seem to get much down. I feel like I have to sip 24/7 to get in enough.

I went in for my 3 week check up this week...he said just try and get in as much as I could. No set amount.

Also, I was worried about Protein...smae thing - Don't worry about it. Drink milk when I can for Vitamins and

to get in some calories with it.

the protien drinks become very important in this regards - you get your protien and your Water...

everone is different with Water. I used to drink 4-6 oz everytime I went to the bathroom, therefore I got at least so much a day. I have curbed it to about 2 oz, and I keep the littel disposable kiddo cups now, else I would spend a bit of time in the bathroom.

I do set aside some time and focus in drinking, if I cannto "see" that I have got in at least 48 oz. of water. I feel my body just needs it too much.

Crystal light with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored makes good drinks, and you can dilute it to a really thin drink. I am having crystal light wild strawberry, 8 oz normally prepared, with about 6 oz of ice (which is only about 3 oz water). and a scoop of Unjury strawberry sorbet...gewd!

      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.
