rayarbee 1 Posted March 24, 2012 Had surgery 3/21/12 this is my second day home. I still can't drink my fluids like I'm suppose to. The air hurts whenever I drink and my tastebuds are off nothing taste good but the sugar-free freeze pops. I'm going to try tomorrow to get my fluids down just one day at a time.

Lissa 2,631 Posted March 24, 2012 Those first few days are always challenging! Perhaps try drinking your fluids at a warmer temp, and try some chicken/beef broth. broth was a staple item for me the first couple of weeks. It was the only liquid that went down fairly easily. Good luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IowaAndy 95 Posted March 24, 2012 I was not able to get all of my Protein or fluids for the first couple of weeks. You will get there but do not force it so that you become sick and vomit. Small sips slow, steady and very often. I agree you could try some warm chicken broth as this may help settle your stomach and go down easier. You need the fluids as you do not want to become dehydrated. Just remember to move your feet and legs around before you stand up as this well help get the blood flowing back to your brain so that you do not get dizzy and fall. Take it a day at a time and in a few days you will feel better and be taking more fluids and protein. If the popsicles work for you then by all meads fo for it. Remember slow and steady wins the race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rayarbee 1 Posted March 25, 2012 I have to send my son to get my freeze pops. I love them too. Lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chandi_d 48 Posted March 25, 2012 I had my surgery on 3/21 also, I have also found it difficult to get all my fluids in. My doc said no Protein till this wed. I think that beef and chicken broth are awesome and the warm liquid seems to relax my stomach. Decaf coffee is also great and I am with ya on the Popsicles..I can't get enough banana ones I have been doing that and I have lost 10 pounds already. I was so unsure of what I had done after the surgery, but aside from the pain..I feel great and I am so happy I took this path in weight loss. I am new to this site but reading everyones story's and suggestions is a big help. You will do GREAT!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayarbee 1 Posted March 26, 2012 As I am writing you I am at the table with a cup of broth. I have found that drinking hot broth or frozen bottle of Water helps me. The Popsicle are my favorite. I also have 100% cranberry juice and half Water. It's good and flushes your body from all the antibiotic and whatever they gave us. Lol! I will have to try banana sounds good. We will both do great K.I.T we was born on the same day. I haven't weighted yet. Going to get a scale after I get done talking to you. I love this site to I also have another one on Facebook it's called Baratric Bad Girls Club. Keep in touch Sent from my iPad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
