Getting Water sand eating slowly

Vitamins and exercise, at least for the last month. I've had the flu twice in the past month and just when I thought I was going to get back to exercising, I pull a back muscle. I'm only 7 weeks out, but I wanted to make the most of this time. Every time something happens it chips away at my motivation to exercise.

drinking enough Water. Right after the surgery I was able to sip water and did get the 96 oz a day most days. However, in the past few months I have not been keeping up with this goal. I average 30 oz a day. I know I need to drink more but don't seem to be able to keep up with the "sipping" all day long. I can take 5-6 swallows at one time and then forget to drink again for a few hours.

LOL does anyone get in the recommended amount. On a good day, I can get in 4-5 cups but honestly our stomachs are just smaller, not to mention drinking can sometimes hurt. I'm guessing this will become easier the further we progress though.

chicken.

What it is about chicken particularly baked or rotisserie, it goes down so heavy and fills me up so fast. So uncomfortable!

Eating late at night... I eat very little but good for me stuff during the day but consume 75% of my calories at night.... frustrating.

Getting my Vitamins in! Ugh, I don't know what my problem is, but I've noticed if it's a super busy Saturday, I'll notice on Sunday that I forgot to take half of them from the day before. I have to space most of them out because they make me feel sick. Any advice to this would be helpful!

Struggling with vitamins too and thinking of maybe switching to regular vitamins so I at least want to take it. The bariatric ones taste gross, chalky and take forever to dissolve. I've started dreading having these pills in my mouth for up to an hour before dissolving

My surgeon and nutritionist have always said that two Flintstone's chewable vitamins are just fine. At least you don't have to wait for them to dissolve and they taste OK.

Eat pureed foods, drink Water and take my vitamins! That seems like to much to do in one day !

Carbs! Gawd I hate that word! I have an obsession with trying to stay under 50 and lately have been going over. It's going to drive me nuts

Exercise...I did so good the first 2.5 months. I walked 45 mins a day fast paced then...pulled my groin muscle. Ignored it thinking a few weeks and it would be ok. Waited 4 weeks tried to walk and f me it hurt, waited a few more weeks tryd again, tryd a bunch (bout once a week) hurt. So now 2 months have gone by and I finally went to see the dr. X-rays are fine but I now have to go to physical therapy. All motivation is lost now (sigh)

Head hunger in the evening.

eating slowly ... I think that tops just about everyones list!

pre-planning well... I do have things in the frig for my meals, but I don't really "plan"

fortunately, with my job, I get my Water in as I bring a jug of ice water from home every day (clean water system at home)...and Vitamins I keep at work, so I don't have a problem there either
