Ow does everyone get all the Water in? I try and can't do it because I either forget or feel to full to drink. I managed to get 45oz today and that's a good day for me.

I try and keep a bottle with me when I can. I work in an office so I can always have something on my desk. I mix it up, Water, Vitamin water zero. I find I can drink the Vitamin water zero faster than plain water. I just feel so much better when I get in 64oz. plus. Forgetting you can work on, try a timer on your phone or watch. Good luck!

It's a struggle for me as well. I think there's only been 1 single day that I've made it to 64oz. I forget to sip - especially now that I am back to work. So, I'm renewing my efforts to hit that goal next week. Good luck!

I'm 3.5 years post op and getting Water in is still an issue for me. I have never drank a lot of fluids. After surgery plain water was impossible, made me nauseated. So now my water is mixed with crystal lite or the packets for Hawaiian punch.

I'm one month post op, and Im struggling for Water intake as well! Mine isn't the full feeling, it's the fact that Im so darn nauseous in the mornings from any liquid. Pre surgery I drank more fluids than most people I knew, but now...like you said 45 oz. is a good day. I am starting to be able to gulp a little with the water. Im hoping soon that will translate into more Fluid intake :/ Hope everyone can manage to stay hydrated.

Try this trick..8 oz every time you go to the bathroom. It adds up.

I'm having trouble too. About 1 week out and 48 oz is a struggle all day. Feel full all the time. It sucks! I hope it gets easier.

      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.
