I was sleeve on 3/26. On surgery day, I was 327.6. At home, I was at 333, which I understood was from the IV fluids. I was on Clear for a week and now I’m on full liquids until I follow up with my surgeon on 04/08, then I start my puréed phase. So far I loss 10 lbs and I’m disappointed with the weightloss. I admit I not the best at getting my water intake in I’m only taking 20+ oz never 64. On a typical day, I drink 2 premier protein, so I get 60 g of protein and for dinner it’s some sort of soup/broth. Sometimes I eat a SF jello or SF popsicle as a snack. I try walk atleast 5 miles throughout the day. Yet the scale isn’t moving below 316 now. I am not taking any medication now, I was on omeprazole but I don’t need it anymore. I also believe I have PCOS, which I know can affect weight loss. I’m honestly disappointed with my progress. 😫

I’m 6 days post op now was sleeved on 3/26, the first day are the hardest definitely what help is the gas x, walking walking even if it’s like 6-10 times around the house. I used a sippy cup or a coffee cup with lid to control my sips for water. Try vitamins zero , Powerade 0 or Gatorade 0, to make sure you get the electrolytes. Be careful with pain meds, cuz it can lead to constipation (like 5 days, ugh). Also if given PPI(for acid reflux) make sure to take it (cuz it helps along w gas x). It’ll get better soon. Just take care, rest, walk, sip on water/electrolytes. Good luck!

After 1 wk post op, started my proteins and vitamins. I feel so much better. I’m still working on getting my water in. But that protein shake hit the spot. I wasn’t able to finish it all but it was still better than just clears liquids.

I’m only 5 days post op and after the initial first days I don’t feel gassy/bloated anymore. I’m still bad at drinking my water and clears. But I’m trying to get better at drinking water. However, I noticed that every morning/evening I been experiencing acid reflux/GERD. The Dr. prescribed omeprazole for the acid reflux 2xday. That’s all the medication I’m taking however, I am wondering will my body adapt and so I no longer experience GERD or I officially have GERD and will have to take medication for it. 😣

My surgery was on the 26th of this month. I was discharge yesterday, but I’m feeling so gross, bloated/gassy. I can only handle water cuz I don’t want any broths. I try drink an 1 oz at least ever 30 of water but I still feel bloated. Im also walking as much as I can. But still feel bloated. Any advice?

Yes. I bought some, gas-x and also I’m taking Omeprazole for acid. It help a little. But I feel my stomach rumbling.

Thanks I’m 2 days post op but I feel like **** so gassy/bloated and only can handle water cuz broth are disgusting and make me feel more bloated -
How do you know when your full. How much protein are you supposed to consume. Also I’m supposed to drink 2 oz of water every 15 min? What about lunch, which is chicken broth and jello that’s provided by the Dr

I’m just got out of surgery, 8 hours ago. The pain was unbearable, but pain medication help. I’m just been drinking water. I’m I supposed to drink protein because I have this 100% whey protein that I can add to my chicken broth.
