Dehydration? I can't keep my liquids down. D:

My doctor said drink or sip what you can. He was with me when I was trying to get some chicken broth down.

If 1/6 teaspoon is all you can get down then1/6 teaspoon it will be. It is good practice eating slowly.

I was able to get more down with time. Sip, sip, sip.

Ms. Betty never called and got back to me. :( It's kinda okay though, yesterday things kinda picked up and I was able to drink more throughout the day. :) I went to the bathroom twice and it wasn't as dark as it had been. I think I'm getting better now. :)

Hey Allie! Hope you're feeling better. The dr. will give you more pain meds if you ask. Do you have the card from Mrs. Betty? It has her cell phone # on it. I had an appt today but I think they'll be out the rest of the week. Hopefully, you'll be able to reach her today!!!

I do, and I called her, then I called the nurse. The nurse said that she'd remind Ms. Betty to call me, but she didn't get around to it, I guess. I'm feeling much better now and I'm drinking more often, so I'm not going to worry about it until the 15th, my post-op appointment. :) It was scary there for a few days, but I'm all good now!

So glad you're doing well and have turned that corner. Pain medication is such a trial for the body -- all those side effects.

      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.
