Fluid Intake After Surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I just had my sleeve done on Tuesday (6/19/2012) I was told to take as much fluids in as I could. What I had today (which is my first full day home) is 1 cup of protien drink 3 sugar free popcicles and a cup of sugar free Jello. Is this good to start out on? I just don't want to put too much in there, but I also want to get enough. Thanks for the help!

Whati don't see here is Water. As much Water as you can handle. Small sips all day long.

As long as you are sipping there should be no problems. Water almost immediately passes through your stomach to your intestine.

it doesn't sound like you got the minimum of 50 grams of Protein in. Isopure has a clear liquid drink that has 40 grams in it! i actually am only a week ahead of you and those drinks really helped. when i could finally get that much protein down it really helped. : )

      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.
