If you need to go back and receive fluids intravenously you should. When I got home I had VERY good luck with hot tea. Anything hot, I even warmed up juice.< /p>

My first few days, I was not eating or drinking anything. My stomach hurt too much. I was probably taking in less than 10oz. a day. But it got easier towards the end of the week. It will get better. Hang in there.

I got dehydrated the first day I came home because I wasn't drinking enough and ended up in the ER receiving fluids intravenously. Seriously, if you can't drink enough, you need to go to the ER or an urgent care clinic.

absolutely get to the ER if you are not drinking.. I didnt have any issues.. seems like all I wanted to do was drink something.. my mouth was very dry..and it gets that way a lot during the day.. but I just keep sipping Water and making sure I stay hydrated.. it will get easier.. the first few days are hard.. getting used to everything.. hang in there.. good things to come.. :) good luck.

The first two days are the worst. Coming off anestisia was hard for me but leaps and bounds better day three forward. Warm liquids were helpful for me. Although cold is better for others so see what feels best for you. Very small sips at first! If you still can not take in anything I would go back to the hospital so they can administer an iv.

      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.
