Drinking Water is hard for me

I also had a hard time drinking water. Now, 6 weeks in, it is getting better. Even drinking milk or Protein Shakes went down smoother than water.
I can hardly drink water. My nut said to try cold tea, and I've gotten more than 50 oz the past two days.

I was sleeved June 25th and am down 40 lbs since my preop appointment June 8th Kinda of wish it would come off faster so I have started moving more.

I reached my 1st goal of having my weight in the 200's instead of 300's pretty pleased with that!

Just ended my first stall. It wasn't long but hard mentally. Sleeved June 8th. Total weight loss 79lbs, post op 55lbs. I had a few pics of lettuce with my meal tonight, never thought I would miss lettuce! It was so good!

School started today, so my washing and activity is crazy high.

Lost 33lbs since surgery June 16th. Depressed because my hair has now started to fall out. I know it only hair and that it'll grow but I try hard to get my Protein in, take Biotin and using Nioxin products and it doesn't even slow down the process. Feeling bummed today :-(

I think your weightloss is pretty good. I was sleeved on June 8th and I have only lost 37 pounds including the 2 week pre-op diet and it looks like I may be entering my second stall. I try to only weigh once a week but I peeked a couple of days early and I was up 1.5 pounds (eek!). So far my hair hasn't started falling out that I have noticed but I have very thick hair so it may be hard to tell.

its really depressing. Don't get me wrong I'm so glad that I had the surgery it's just my hair is thin to begin with.

Awesome! Great job! My one-month appointment got pushed back by a few weeks because of a family emergency, so my 3-month isn't for another month yet.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
