drinking a lot this morning.



Recommended Posts

Today is POD 5, I just woke up and started to sip the half full 20 oz bottle of gatorade G2 on my nightstand.

I quickly sipped my way through 4 oz then 8 oz and finally I emptied the bottle. That mean I was just able to sip 10 oz of Fluid in about 5 minutes with NO discomfort.

Anyone else out there that is kr was able to do this so soon? It kinda has me freaked out a little.

I'm 3 days out and wish I could drink like that! If you've got no discomfort, you may just be a speedy recoverer!!

Okay. I must admit my lizard brain went immediately to "oh no, I must be leaking all the drink directly into my abdomen". Your explanation probably is the better conclusion to jump to, oops. Thanks you.

I was just overjoyed at my ability to finish an 8oz "Mocha Proticcino" in less than an hour. Being only 3 days out, I'm sure your ability to get liquids down is just great recovery, like mine appears to be going!

FYI - Mocha Proticcino is 8oz FF milk, 1 scoop chocolate Splendor powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein & 1T instant coffee. Yum! Great change from a standard Protein shake, and the extra coating from the milk seemed to go down easier than water! My doc cleared me for full liquids as soon as I got home and is fine with caffeine - just no carbonation for awhile.

I think you're probably fine, but I totally 'get' freaking out!!!! All I have to say is congratulations, just sip, sip, sip and count your blessings!!! I had a HORRIBLE time getting enough liquids in!!

I hadI hI had almost no inflammation in my sleeve and drank 80 ounces of Fluid my first day post op. Nothing to get freaked out about.. quite the opposite, you're among the fortunate few who doesn't have to struggle with fluids. Embrace it!

I just made a chia tea concentrate shake with 8oz egg white international pasteurized egg whites, 6oz Decaf chia tea concentrate and 6oz unsweetened almond milk. OMG this is so good. That drink gives me 188 cal with 26 gr Protein.< /p>

      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.
