Nov 2018 Hydration Challenge

Struggling quite a bit over here. Even 64 oz of plain Water has been a reach for me. It's mostly a mental struggle. Pre surgery, I used to take in about 98 oz a day. I like to chug Water through. This sip sip sip thing annoys me. I always wind up getting distracted and not drinking for a couple hours here and there which really limits the amount of water I can take in. Tomorrow is going to be a long day though, so I'm going to start drinking early in the morning and set reminders on my phone! The more hours I am up, the more hours i have to drink lol

How far out from surgery are you?

I can't speak for everyone but by 6 months post op I could "chug" with the best of them.

Infused waters, water with enhancers for flavor and clearer teas count towards pure water count in this challenge also.

Hydration is the goal.

I would rather have everyone well hydrated by sustainable methods rather than struggle to drink plain water all day. Just add some plain water in too if you can handle it.

Only little over a month out and nowhere near being able to "chug".
Not a fan of water enhancers. I like plain water. I just forget to drink it constantly.
I'm doing good today though :)

      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.
