I realized that I swallow a lot more Water than I thought. As some of you know, I am almost 5 weeks out and am still fairly unable to consume anything that is more than a thick puree. I haven't not mastered much more than sip sip sipping and when I take too large of a gulp, I have big pain and middle school boy belches until the pressure is relieved.

During my hour swim (at 7 in the morning!!!), I watched the little old blue hairs that frequent the pool for the coffee and the newspapers turn to me in disgust as I would come up for breath, swallow a few drops of water and inevitably burp every 6 or 8 strokes. I used to be a swimmer in high school and college, so I am fairly certain I know what I am doing in the pool, it's just something I've never been cognizant of.

I wonder how much pool water I am actually swallowing and if I can count it as part of my daily needs.

:blink:

LOL...that is funny...at least you are getting in your exercise and that is fantastic! If you were able to gage the amount you take in I am sure that would count....Have a great day!

Querry-- why do the blue hairs look at you in disgust?

how to measure how much Water you swallow. assuming the pool has a scale, weight yourself just after you get in the pool, soaking wet then after your workout. water is eight ounces per cup. If the workout is long then there is a little loss from the exertion. may have to do it a few times and get an average.

Yeah my kids tell me that all the time. I think it is partly personality and mostly working in medicine for 31 years--there is nothing I have not seen.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
