Feeling rather frustrated..watching everyone that's close to my surgery date dropping the weight so fast and my loss has been slow to nonexistent lol Just got back from my one month visit and since my one week only lost 2 lbs I have to start b complex vitamin, fiber supplement and probiotics any suggestions..?

So I'm two weeks post op today and I went to my NUT today. I am watching everyone post how much they have lost after having their procedure on the same day as me and I have only lost a few pounds. She thinks I may be retaining fluids, but it's very discouraging. The past two weeks have been so difficult for me emotionally and physically. I am not feeling any energy to do much. After I do a little bit I need to lay back down. I am getting around 40-60g of protein in, but definitely not nearly enough fluids. Anyone have the surgery and be two weeks out and really haven't lost anything?

My HW 222 SW 218 My nutrition appointment a week before surgery 212 Today at nutritionist 209

I am having the same problem! I am 12 days post op and I have moved on to some mushy foods which hasn't been so bad;however I am still having problems with my protein shake. My drs and NUT want me to have my protein shake for breakfast, but it literally takes me about 3 hrs to finish and I know you're not supposed to drink with your meals, but my shake ends up being my breakfast and lunch and then here it is 2:15 and I haven't finished my shake or gotten any other fluids. This shake makes me nauseous and I have tried a variety. I have never had any problems with shakes prior to surgery.

Does anyone have any good links to help explain to my family what I have gone through and how to summarize the post op etc?

One dr told me 2 weeks and the other told me a month. I am just going by the one month to play it safe.

So I am 5 days post op and had to take my son to a drs appointment. How do people deal with trying to just digest fluids, because as soon as we are out and I take a sip of anything I need to use the bathroom and not for urine Is this something that gets better? I am afraid to leave the house and I am also exhausted and did minimal today.

I am not even a week post op and I'm so nervous bec I have a trip to a friend's planned for end of July and a family vacation to Costa Rica in August that I'm so worried I'm going to be miserable for

Ok so I am post op day 3 and I was put on anti nausea meds this morning, because I am having trouble keeping liquids down nevermind protein. I have just started with sips of warm decaf tea and trying coconut water. Not a fan, but I don't want to end up in hospital for dehydration. Any helpful suggestions I am feeling extremely upset and get out of bed for a few min at a time, but I'm dizzy and have no energy?

I meant like the original v8 tomato juice

So I am allowed chicken broth, beef broth, vegetable broth and tomato soup.. am I allowed to have v8 regular?

So I was told I shouldn't have any trouble swallowing my everyday meds, but even the small Percocet they gave me I cut into three pieces and now it feels like a lump In my throat. I haven't even tried taking my regular everyday pills and medicine. So what's the trick?

Wondering how you are doing? Is your throat any better?

I'm home now and have been on clear liquids all day. I didn't throw up at all when I was in the hospital, but I just started throwing up now. Is this normal? I hate throwing up and now I'm in so much pain! I used to settle stomach with room temp ginger ale obviously that's not an option. Any suggestions?

What happened when food got stuck?

Yes they were going to give me a bunch of the 1oz cups in the hospital like medicine cups but we forgot them lol

Thank you so much! I am on zofran and had some coconut water, sugar free ice pops, chicken broth... just not near 48 oz of fluids yet but better than last night Thank you for being so supportive

I'm not drinking ginger ale

My dr is prescribing me anti nausea meds and wants me to drink coconut water. I am hoping I can keep hydrated in in pain but trying not to take meds bec that will only irritate stomach more. I am trying to get out of bed for a few min every hour but my energy level is awful. I feel light headed and dizzy. I am drinking some warm decaf tea with lemon and going to try some ginger tea too. I'm just so nervous

I used that during pregnancy thanks

I'm home now that I'm passing gas not as bad pain as earlier.

Yes yesterday

What are the main sizes of portion containers that I will need for after? I cannot remember what my NUT said?

Today's the day and on my way to hospital! Hoping to check in later all positive vibes and prayers welcome!
