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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
