Ok so I am 8 days post op and all I feel I am doing is drinking Water. I know we have to drink 64oz a day and I probably could do that but get too darn full so fast....I can only get one full water bottle in a day as of right now. And don't feel like eating because I'm full of water. Anybody going through the same thing?

Actually, I can do more than 64 oz of Water which kind of worries me. I am not really thirsty but do it because we are supposed to. My 1st follow up is Friday - I cannot wait.

Shoot, I can do about 40oz Water and then a Protein Shake and some SF Jello, and a few bites of creamy Soup a day. I cannot possibly eat/drink anything else. I was told to take on another Protein shake and I have NO CLUE how that is going to happen. And after the vitamins... holy cow!

I know it is tough, but I try to just keep drinking and then peeing. It seems to be really repetitive but that is the only way I could get it to work. After a couple days, it was a lot easier.

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

Remember if you are taking in yogurt, pudding, Jello Soup those are all liquids too that can be counted toward your days goal... In the beginning you won't get it all in. In time it gets much better.

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, I am really starting to feel better. Keep your head up and stay positive.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
