Congrats on the loss!!! I wish I could help with the Protein and Water. It's such a struggle but it will pass!

I'm trying any different kind of Protein supplement I can get my hands on. I'm not too terribly worried. My hair, skin, and nails are still healthy (the bodies last priority) so I'm not malnourished. With the Water, It's weird but Water has always made me nauseous, my whole life. If I mix in som sf kool

Kool aid I do ok. Also if I drink through a straw. I asked Dr. He said straw was ok. It's so hard to quench my thirst, Idk why. I drink like I'm a fish (no alcohol lol).

We're on almost the same track, with the same progress. My pre-op diet started 7-23 and I'm down 41 pounds too. I, too, have trouble feeling like I get enough to drink but I think that's the body's way of ensuring that we DO get enough hydration. Here's to our success!

Wow, congrats on your weight loss, please try and get your Protein in, I can't stress how important it is for your nutrition and hair. LOL - I hate just plain Water and it gave me heartburn and I did feel sick too when I would drink it. I always have to put something into it so I can drink.

Are you down 41 lbs w/ pre op weight? I'm 6 wks out and feel like I'm losing so slow. I've lost 62 lbs total but only 26 since surgery I honestly don't eat bad or much at all. I don't understand how I'm not losing more

[Bert_n_ernie 60]

Yes that's counting the pre op loss. I feel like I should be losing it quicker, so frustrating.
