Are you on a PPI (proton pump inhibitor, such as Prilosec (also known as Omeprazole)? The pain could be from reflux.

Also, the swelling maybe very severe from the surgery and needs alot more time to calm down. With you not being able to stay hydrated by drinking, you may require IV hydration, possibly over the course of several days until you are finally able to keep some liquids down.

Stay in close contact with your MD and if you have any symptoms of dehydration:

-Thirst

- Dry Skin

- Skin Flushing

- Dark Colored Urine

- Dry Mouth

- Fatigue or Weakness

- Chills

- Head Rushes

go the the ER right away and get an IV. We can go a VERY VERY long time without food of any kind, but liquids are critical. If you can't drink, you have to get them the only other way possible, intravenously.

Good luck and keep us up to date!

Thanks I had my surgery in Mexico. I'm home now. Drinking some fluids but I know I need more

When I had trouble sipping fluids, I kept on chewing those ice chips and eating popsicles..to stay hydrated..

The hardest part of this journey is getting in liquids. It is work. I wake up in the Am and I'm dehydrated even when drinking alot of Fluid the day before. So I just keep drinking. I have the same feedback from my body for hunger or thrist so I try to drink first, then after 20 minutes I might eat something. When hydrated, I'm not really hungry. Keep up the hard work! :)

      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.
