OK everyone.......how much Water do you drink and how do you feel it affects your weight loss?

I find it difficult to drink Water because I have a busy office job and do a lot of driving and running around. I also have weak bladder control, so I have to be very careful that I don't get stuck without a washroom close by! :blush:

For me..... Helps me NOT retain Fluid. Fills me when I'm a little hungry. Keeps me hydrated while sweating during my hour of cardio. Sometimes, I drink it plain, sometimes, I add lemon juice and Stevia, and sometimes I add flavor packets.

I love my Water and could easily get through 2-3ltrs a day. Although now I am struggling, I really need to get back into it, however am still recovering a bit from the surgery. Loved my sparkling Water, found it so refreshing, but no more :( boooo.

I fill up 32oz juice bottles (I like drinking out of glass, not plastic) with Water and a half cup of aloe vera juice and a big splash of unsweetened cranberry. It's my comfort drink and I try to get in two bottles a day, plus plenty of other liquids -- probably a pot of tea on some days. I usually drink one bottle after working out and another around five o'clock, which is when my body thinks it's time for the wine and cheese party to begin. Gets me over that hurdle and that way I get hydration early enough in the evening so I don't have to get up and pee in the night.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
