I am 4 weeks out and I still can't do 64 in. I had to go to ER and get IV fluids last week. It is just so hard. But' date=' I am really starting to feel better. Keep your head up and stay positive.[/quote']

Thank you and that is my goal and try and stay out of the hospital. What made you say, ok I need to go get an Iv?

I felt very lethargic and dizzy. Went to my surgeon and they sent me to ER to get fluids.

That is what I did today...No Bueno (Dislike) Trip to the Er and Iv was put in. I really hope I can get more fluids in me now! Staying Hydrated is important!

Aww no bueno! Hope you guys are feeling better. I slacked a little today with the fluids but ate an little more. It was bad, I blended 2 spoonfuls of my spouse's beef burrito. I couldn't take it anymore, needed something other than Soup. Ugh, will probably pay for it later.

It wasn't bad, it was better than cream Soup. LOL! I have been really creative trying to get Protein into the cream Soups because I want to make sure that I am hitting my quota and I am sick of Protein shakes.

Happily, the burrito (filling only that I blended) was fine, did not have any reaction to it at all. AWESOME! I feel so much better today than I have been, I finally feel like I am healing.

I literally am going through the same thing. All I've been drinking is Water and probably only a bottle a day. I just know my stomach can't tolerate anything other than that. My doc said that was common so soon after surgery since your stomach is still pretty swollen

During an Oz Every 10 min when you are up else you will end up in er with dehydration in about 4 days. Really hard to deal with after surgery.

OH NO!!!! I am so glad you got to the hospital and got the IV though!!

How are you feeling today?

I am 1wk post op and have been doing amazing until last night - just was really nauseous and did everything to avoid throwing up - eventually landed in a cool shower at 2am. I dont know why that happened out of nowhere.

Otherwise, I am getting 64oz in me no problem. Can't wait to be able to eat some new things next week.

I know dehydration is not fun. I am glad you got the IV and I know I felt much better after having a bag of Fluid. I try so hard but can't get in more than 50 oz. That is including my Protein Shake for Breakfast. Frustrating but I will continue pushing on and I know it will get better and time is my friend It is so nice to be able to talk to others that are going through what you are going through.

      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?

      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.
