11 days out and ive lost 10 lbs... I had been having some severe lower abdomen pains.... doctor feels is constipation...I've only have 2 bowel movements, 1 6 days post op and I took a major Sh!t ???????????? later that night after my doctors appts...today was day 12 and I can say I feel alot better....I'm getting in the recommended fluids but in still dehydrated....to me I feel like I'm drinking the same amount of fluids pre op.....I have 64 oz jug that I use to track my Water consumption, but I WAS one of those ppl that drink tremendously WHILE eating also as well a getting in 64 oz of water so I think/know that my require way more that 64 oz to be fully hydrated. I also have no sense of thirst or hunger which makes it harder for me to consume even more water....but I have no complaints it's not a race, it a marathon so is about the long run of things.

Aside from the liquid diet I wasnt told anything had to be sugar free....if it was under 10 grams or sugar and under 10 of fat you are fine....most of our Protein will come from potein powders and shake because it's very hard to consume all protein we need through a regular diet.... so use a Isopure zero or low carb Protein powder and in 1 1/2 shakes I have gotten 75 grams of protein and any other protein I get is just extra Sent from my HTC6500LVW using the BariatricPal App

Thank y'all so much...I guess this is going to be a slower process than I thought...no I don't want to get dehydrated or be put back in the hospital....I'm just so frustrated because I was doing so get at getting all my liquids in before surgery.... thanks...I feel better knowing I'm not the only one Sent from my HTC6500LVW using the BariatricPal App

@@paramedic I am following my doctors orders...as for right now my focus is not protein it getting my liquids in.... I can slowly drink about 3 medicine caps of water before feeling fullness. I have no hunger pains or appetite for that matter and ive been getting my walking in....what took me for a loop is that I real underestimated the amount of pain I would be in from the gas....it did go into my shoulders that much it went all into my lower abdomen....I felt like I was having a natural childbirth with no epidural in sight....for what ever reason my doctor does not prescribed pain meds in the hospital...but as of today I'm doing fine.

Hey everybody....this thing took me for a loop...but I am doing good...sleeved on the 6th and today was the first day I was able to get any liquid down on my own...ia really REALLY underestimated the gas...I really did. I have a high pain tolerance, but day oone I was in debilitating pain....my doctor did not prescribed ANY pain medication while in the hospital... Only 2 steroids for swelling and inflammation and the first steroid I was given had no affect the what so ever... The nurse lost gas dropped that was delivered by the hospital pharmacy ... Wasn't given thing that helped my pain until 6pm and I was out of surgery since 8:30am....I was able to get up and walk day later that evening once after my pain subsided, but haven't been able to drink anything until today do to nausea....almost had to stay an extra day in the hospital, but had to get the f#ck out of there...so the doctor call me a prescription in for nausea and I went home last night and have been doing pretty good on Fluid....I feel no hunger what so ever...for now...my doctor said my surgery went very well...he said technically i am supposed to be on Clear liquids but he's not stupid so he said give my self a few days to heal and from there I can start experimenting with food but take it easy....I still have gas, it's bearable, it's on my left side and I'm only able to burb it up I can't fart to save my life...if I could I believe the gas would be over with....any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes I have UHC and you have to enroll in their bariatric program or they would only cover 50% of the surgery...but to be honest with you I feel being enrolled gets you and easier approval...I was approved in 3 days after my surgeon's office submitted the paperwork Sent from my HTC6500LVW using the BariatricPal App

I'm scheduled tomorrow as well...my nerves kicked in this past Sunday....felt like I've been having and outer body experience ever since....it seems surreal that I'm having weightloss surgery tomorrow.....I started the process twice before and chickened out.

I was told that as our body burns stored fat all types of hormones are released increasing your level of fertility...down side you may see changes in your skin or acne also....but my Doctor recommends 2 forms of birth control for the first 18 months following surgery to prevent pregnancy.

I'm one week down on my liquid diet and I'm down 11lbs so far....it's this typical?....u want to lose 20 during my liquid diet, at least 10lbs I knew would be Water weight...what was everyone else's experience? Sent from my HTC6500LVW using the BariatricPal App

I apologize I didn't mean to say "u would like to lose 20 lbs".... That was just my personal goal....but I was expecting to have lost around 15lbs by now and then another 5 by next surgery date. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using the BariatricPal App
