HELP..I think I overdid it with the liquids



Recommended Posts

I am on clears and have NO problem at all getting them down. And in this desert I am thirsty all the time. So sip sip sip is no problem for me. Is it possible to overdo it on clears? I am feeling like my stomach is irritated. So I am backing off the liqs. Anything else I should do?

are you on an acid reducer it could be iritated because you are not giving it anything to break down and it keeps producing acid. this is just a guess though

Actually I was very worried because I wasn't aware of the 3 ounces in 20 mins. rule my doctor has until I came home and read the post op instructions. My bad. Anyway, if you saw my other 3 day post op thread, I had to go back to Mexico for treatment of a complication. While I was there the doctor checked my sleeve through fluoroscopy and it was perfect.

Fluids are going down well, but I being more careful to SLOW IT DOWN now. Even bought myself a timer as advised by a fellow sleeve traveler. (THANKS!!) I have always been a chugger, not a sipper. That is taking some training to change my evil ways. My biggest fear throughout all of this is how I am going to learn to eat and drink slowly. My daughter says I always Hoover my food. She's right....(sigh).

I have no buyer's remorse, no vomiting, no hunger, and no regrets!!! YAY!!! And except for the little lung adventure, I am feeling great. And lost 11 lbs since surgery, and 40 lbs pre-op.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
