I am also 2 weeks post op and did great getting my fluids in until I started trying to get my Protein in. Now my BP has dropped and I am having dizzy spells . Doc has me reducing my protein and focusing on Water and G2 Gatorade. I go back in 2 days and if not better I get an IV for fluids .... I work at a hospital and I knew this could happen so I have tried so hard and I feel like I am constantly sipping. It's not that I don't like it, I love water! I don't get how I ended up with this battle! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Had surgery (RNY) on Monday and my only issue was post anesthesia nausea which I expected due to prior issue of the same. I was up and walking once the nausea wore off and lucky that I have had no issues with getting in my 64 oz of fluid. I am not on shakes as well and have been able to get the 60 g protein in with paying attention throughout the day. I am walking 2-3 times a day for 10-20 min depending on how I am feeling. My pain hasn't been bad at all but I do stay current on medication, maybe skip one or two doses a day now. My drain is annoying and I look forward to it coming out on Tuesday! I have lost about 6.5 pounds since the surgery and can already see it in my face, neck and chest areas as well as my ankles and feet. This has really been a great experience so far!
