Are you drinking plenty of Water?

Get some Protein mix with whey isolates and you should be getting down 60-80 grams per day. I concur about Water too--check your hydration a couple ways:

1. What is color of urine?

2. Do skin test, grab one wrist (normal grip). How long until color returns to your wrist?

Day 3? Probably still just the anesthetic working it's way through your system. Everybody is different. During my stay at the hospital I slept for the better part of 3 days.

I was told clear liquids only. Isn't whey mix for shakes? My mom is going to GNC to pick me up some clear liquid Protein in a few

Sorry, that's right--not all doctors are the same. Mine had me on full liquids by day 2. Otherwise, drink Isopure which is clear (apple melon is best).

I just called my doctor and he said to switch from sugar free drinks and ice pops to ones with sugar so I can get some calories in me. Hopefully that helps. I wish I could just make a Protein Shake and not feel dizzy

Congratulations to you too! How are you feeling? My left shoulder and abdomen are very sore. It's hard to lie down. I was sitting on my vouch for an hour and now I'm walking around my house, swinging my arms.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
