Fluids doesn't have to be plain water. Try it different temperatures it might sit better. Use zero calorie drinks like Power Ade Zero or teas.
You have to get the fluid in somehow.
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
water is my worst enemy, I am trying to get down as much water as possible, I don't think I do half of the 64oz, it seems like as soon as the water hit my stomach I feel sick. Everyday I am feeling dehydrated and very fatigued. I had to stop my workouts because of me feeling like I am about to pass out.
Who treated you for the complications then, and gave you the feeding tube? Seems like you want answers; you could always request your medical records so you cAn see for yourself what was done, since the surgeon isn't playing ball. They will be useful if you feel the need to establish yourself with a new bariatric team. But if your complications have resolved, there really is no need to continue to see the surgeon. A PCP can monitor your labs, but you may have to direct them on what they need to draw for. Using this site for questions and support will be one of your best resources. Posting to the general weight loss or RNY boards will get you more responses.
Are you managing your hydration better now? 64 oz of water is a minimum. Sounds like you're losing well, that's great for having to manuver this on your own.

Once I came out of surgery I kind of felt like I was on my own. I was 320 I'm down 208 my surgery was aug 9th 2016 I was not able to keep anything down until around April/May of 2017. I was on a feeding tube for awhile. And I got the complete runaround from my surgeon and his staff, I have had no treatment what so ever after the surgery. I was in and out of the ER getting hydrated. I'm glad for the weight loss but wish I never had the surgery
Can you be specific? What complications? What do you need from your surgeon? Keep in mind their role is to heal you physically post surgery, and set you on a path. You are kind of on your own once on the path. Support groups can help- but sometimes they don't. I didn't attend support group after surgery, but started going recently. I find more value in them now.
What are you struggling with?

Walking while shopping counts! Park at the very far end of every parking lot! I'm fighting a nasty cold and didn't make it to fencing last night because I can't breathe through my nose. I have a 1 pm today with my trainer and I still can't quite breathe right and now my hubby has the nasty cold. Hang in there.
Keep on losing!

it is getting tough to get the work out in with my hours being longer. I have been spoiled in the past when I use to be done by 3 so I need to get use to finishing late and finding the time. They have taken away lunch break on me so I can not even stop in the gym during lunch hour and get a workout in
Monday was an hour walk and the walking I did to get to clients.
Tue treadmill run
wed swim
Thursday hoping to do some strength training
friday barre class
saturday shopping does that count.
sunday hoping to do an hour run
i thought I'd be ok after the surgery, but I feel like I'm struggling mentally and physically. I've had slit of complications after my surgery. I have not attended any meetings or support groups after. I feel like I'm getting and have been getting the run around with my surgeon and his colleagues so that has made me stray away. Don't know where to turn but I honestly feel like I need a support group now.
Hello Warriors
As we get into the thick of the holidays, it's getting tougher to find time to work out, but I know if I don't do it, I'm up a creek. It's important to both my mental and physical health
Sunday, I fenced in a women's tourney for women over 40. I didn't set the world on fire, but did better than I had in my other tournaments, so that was a positive.
Monday - Fencing 2 hours
Tuesday - Personal Trainer 1 hour
Wednesday - Fencing probably only an hour - I have a board meeting
Thursday - rest day
Friday - Pilates
Saturday - not sure - probably weights
Sunday - Christmas Eve - likely to do nothing for work out - too much family stuff to deal with.
To those celebrating - Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas!
Keep on losing!
