Check the scale and I'm down 42lbs.... Have been have a pulling type pain in my right side... Is that normal? Also as I been walking I sometimes get little muscle spasms in my calf muscles. Still trying to get in 64 oz of water and I think my muscle mass is shrinking... What is a good way of toning and maintaining the muscle mass?

My liquid intake has improved but some times it feels like the water want to rise back up my throat. What is this and I drinking to much? Surgery was on 3/6 and I'm current on full fluids

Just been sleeved on 3/6. My max weight before considering the sleeve was 223, but was recommended by primary physician because of a onset of severe health conditions. Weight day of surgery after recommended diet was 202. Current weight is 188.6, still have questions about diet and some issues off and on with intake of fluids and liquid diet. Joined for advice and tips on food intake. Anything is welcome now please fill me in.

Getting 64oz of luid is really a project for me. Leaving the hospital I only could do ice chips and couldn't even finish the 2oz diluted grape juice they gave me. Since I been home I was able to do a couple sips of swanson fat free chicken broth and I can manage anything frozen which may possibly be the primary source of hydration because I'm still not capable of finishing a 16.9oz bottled water. Doctor cleared me for full liquid diet soups other than broth don't sit well and was able to do a few spoons cream of wheat without problem. Out of sheer curiosity I tried a regular size cup of sugar free Rita's water ice and was able to finish without any problem. I think because of my gerd my choice of full liquid needs to be tweeked because I need to be able to do more than frozen treats, applesause, broth and cream of wheat
