How do you know if you are on the verge of dehydration? I am 1 week out from surgery and yesterday I had a couple sips of an eas Protein Shake and it immediately made me feel bad. Not sure why. But it had me in the restroom with discomfort and then I felt very constipated because of course I am just now experiencing my first bm since surgery. So I took milk of mag because I felt like I had to in order to fix things. Now today I am still going but everytime I drink or eat yogurt or something it goes straight thru. Am I getting dehydrated? What should I do? I can start stage 3 puréed tomorrow with my program. Any suggestions? Would it make a difference if I start it one day early to get more substance in to change the bowels situation?

Please call your surgeon's office to describe what's happening to you and ask them your questions, since nobody on this forum could legitimately answer you. Good luck to you and hope you're feeling better soon.

Call your surgeons office about things running through you and see what they say.

You can call your nutritionist and ask if you can start a day early or when you call the surgeon ask then if you want.

You'll get better answers.

      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.
