I am 6 weeks postop from gastric sleeve. I am on a regular diet. I can't seem to get in enough liquids throughout the day. I am having to force myself to drink when I'm not thirsty and when I still feel full from eating (maybe an hour after eating). I hate doing that because I know it's going to flush the food out too quickly. Does it get easier to drink? I know they say that your Protein shakes/milk count towards liquid, but honestly my body needs straight up Water to feel hydrated. And when I don't drink enough I sleep like crap. Most days I struggle to get in 48 oz.

I's tough I too struggle with enough Water , remember you can put sugar free kool iad in it lemon oil is what I use, caffeine free tea, Decaf coffee . So try some different things besides just water maybe that will help some. :)

Going with this - I think a lot of zero calorie things count if you need to change it up. I personally have been really enjoying Powerade Zero. (:

try some sugar free additions like koolaid/crush or lemon and a dash of stevia.

      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.
