I have a question for you sleevers out there. How do you keep track of your Fluid intake? I was sleeved May 23rd and since then I keep a notepad and pen with me at all times. I tally every ounce of fluid that I have. Anyone else do this? Anyone have any other ways that they keep track?

Two things, I have a Water bottle that has the amount of liquid it holds (32oz), I know that I have to drink 3 of those a day....

I also use myfitnesspal to log food and drink. Once you get in the habit, it get super easy...there's an app for that. :)

My stalker-nutritionist says no, that Protein drinks should be counted only as Protein, so to keep her off my case I don't count that as Fluid. If I use a protein shot and mix it with Powerade, then I count it both.

I have a bottle that has ozs on it. I feel it up and drink it through out the day. It only goes up to 25 ozs so I have to refill it . I also keep of with what I have eaten that day and take into account about how much fluids that would be to.

Yes I include my Protein drinks. I actually write down everything I put into my mouth.

I tally by 4 oz drinks... And I count Protein Shakes (cause that's what my NUT said). Funny how different they all are...

I use a calorie counter Bracelet. It has round beads on it and a charm that I move past each bead for every 4 ounces I drink. It has a heart bead in the middle and that is my starter bead. It really helps me :-)

I use Myfitnesspal.com and it's great. I have the app on my phone, too, so it's always with me.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
