How much Water i need to drink every day

You should aim to get at least 64 oz per day. The more water the better in my book!

However, did you guys hear about the lady who was in a "water drinking" contest and died yesterday? Evidently she died from Water intoxication? She was in some contest where you had to drink a lot of water without going to the bathroom. It was a sad story, she was only 28 yrs old, had 3 kids. I haven't gotten the entire story yet, but it was on the news and everyone at work was talking about it. I never new water could be deadly? I guess the fact she wasn't going to the restroom was the big factor.

6 days past banding, I ate 1 soft scrambled egg. It feels like a hard little lump at the end of my esophogus. How long does it take to move? It will move won't it? I don't feel sick, I'm just a little scared. I go for my fill on Friday, do you think it will be gone by then?

Hi all,

Just back from the hospital. My surgery was at 8:30 and all went well. I didn't tolerate the anesthesia well, but I guess that is to be expected. I'm feeling a little sore in my upper abdomen where they did there laroscopy and a raspy throat but is understandable. I've been give some prescription meds and am going to nap for a while if I can..then go walking.

Thanks for the prayers. I am not sore but I do have a lot of pain in both sides of my back when I take a big breath in. Has anyone else had that?

Hi! Right now, I'm scheduled to be banded on January 23rd..if only I can get rid of my head cold. I'm so excited and yet so bummed that I got this stupid cold. I've been placed on antibiotics and prednisone. Even if I do somewhat clear it up, it's up to the anethesiologist if he'll do it. Guess they aren't thrilled with the prednisone. So, please wish me luck. I so want to get rid of the cold.

      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.
