No fluid retention problems. My urine output increased a few days post surgery so I'm doing better now. I'm having a hard time getting enough fluids in

Glad to know I'm not alone. I took a nap today and woke up with pain. I take the pain meds still as I need. My throat is still sore and my drain site is sore. I'm having a hard time getting my fluids in. Any advice?

I have the liquid galvescon (sp?) and Prilosec. So far I've read on here it's not uncommon post op. Everything is healing. I feel more concerned I'm not peeing.. Going to try and go on a long walk today. I using cough drops for my sore throat. Hopefully that will help

So I'm day 3 post op and I'm having waves of heartburn. It's right in the middle of my chest. Comes and goes. Advice? My throat is also sore but I'm sure that's expected after having a tube down it. I also am not peeing enough. I pee just feel like I'm holding fluid...

Well I did it yall. I'm now sleeved.. Best of luck to all you heading my way. I'm at the Marriott one more night.

I have brown hair and I'm fat too!! Lmao

Same doctors! Awesome!! I know we're in good hands. Look for Alexandra at the Marriott when your pre op I'll be there.

I'm good surgery is this Friday and I'm ready. Little nervous but so ready... Did I mention ready? Lol. I'm glad your doing well. Surprised your advancing to softs already but that is great! Have your taste buds changed?

Hi there! New to the site, live in Arizona. I've rapidly made the decision to have sleeve surgery in Mexico end of February this year. I'm both nervous and excited. This app/forum has been amazing and a great resource of info. I would love to meet anyone especially if your surgery date is close to mine. As a nurse I know the benefits of having a buddy or two to just share thoughts feeling and questions. I'm 30/ female. At least 100-150 pounds overweight. Glad to be here and hope to meet you! Tell me about you

I love the Unjury vanilla. I didn't find it gritty whatsoever. I thought the fruity flavore of the Syntrax tasted like gelatin /jello... Power crunch makes an amazing vanilla. I'm on the search for a coffee flavored protein but I've had no luck.. They all taste bad. My surgery is this Friday and the trick is going to be finding something that doesn't thicken or turn to sludge while sitting. We can't chug it so I don't want it too thick.

I'm feb 27 also... Good luck!

How did everything go??

Dr Garcia is doing mine. How about you?

Hi everyone. Surgery for me is this Friday at Oasis/Florence. My friend and I leave Thursday evening. Excited and ready! Pre op diet has been difficult. Emotions are wild. I have never felt more overweight in my life than I have this week. Will be at the Marriott March 1-3... Prayers and well wishes are appreciated

That's great! It's coming up

Is my date! Heading to Mexico for my sleeve. Nice to meet you all

Yes.. We will!

I will be at the Mariott. You?

I should be at the Marriott also those days !
