I went to my family doctor today. He's not impressed by my regain. I started at 285. Was 270 at RNY surgery. I weigh 209 today. My lowest was 161. So I'm up 48 lbs from my lowest. Today he recommended I go on Ozempic to loose weight. He said "it will change my relationship with food." Hmmm... we've heard THAT before. Anyone else on Ozempic to deal with regain? I really don't feel on board with this. Nothing like back to the basics right?

while it is technically possible to drink too much wAter and there is a term for that, but I can't think of it right now, it would be way mor wAter than 130+ oz, it would be in the GALLONS range. You are good to go.

You CAN succeed at this !

Losing all the weight you want n staying long term emotionally and physically healthy is up 2 U !

First key is movement. Making movement a first priority every time you wake up ( no forcing just get out there for ten minutes and then allow yourself to go home or continue exercising if you?re enjoying it ) is everything. You?ll lose twenty lbs and look fantastic before you blink .

second ... no matter what anyone recommends listen to your common sense regarding food .

There?s a heck of a lot more forgiveness if you choose to eat low fat . Truth is the average American diet is ridiculously high in fat and contains giant portion sizes enough for an entire family and is crazy high calorie.

If you try to eat the way you always did you?re gonna get what you always got - fat!

Fried foods , ice cream , ? fast foods ? road food and slider foods have to be off the menu .

But it?s a proven fact .... you stop eating any item for six weeks your body forgets it and you won?t have that craving .

I couldn?t eat ?breaded? and fried foods if you paid me -literally. I couldn?t eat anything from a seven eleven or Mickey DS . Nor should I want to - a supermarket with salads and fresh juices is just right around any corner. Chinese takeouts with healthy cheap lunch specials are everywhere. I always ask for no oil and lots of condiments to make the food tasty as compensation. Some restaurants will even give you no rice or noodles but just more fresh veggies for no extra cost.

This surgery works and will continue working but how well is up to you .

You have to appreciate the once in a lifetime chance your lifesaving WLS gave you.

This is IT ! Just do what you agreed to before the surgery... you knew your eating and exercising habits were going 2 permanently have 2 change

. Most WLS patients end up backsliding and even heavier because they refuse 2 change their habits. It?s really tragic don?t be a statistic. Hugs

Thanks for the responses. I was a little worried that the Water intake was to much, but relieved to hear it's ok. As for my dairy snack, I'm only going to eat if I feel hungry not because I'm supposed to have a dairy snack. I think drinking a lot of fluids and having a healthy supper eliminated the night time snack.

As long as you don't drink too much water in a very short amount of time, you should be fine. I typically drink 105-128 oz per day. Healthy kidneys can process about 32 oz per hour, so you shouldn't drink more than that. Too much in a short time can result in water intoxication, which is dangerous.

Spreading your water intake out throughout the day and taking in 128 oz or so should be just fine. I know some people who drink even more, so your total of 102 oz should be absolutely fine.
