4Days Post Op and still sore....

[fccm04 39]

Hello everyone who are on thus journey with me. However, I have so many questions. I am 4 days post surgery and my stomach is still swollen and sore and I jumped on scale today and only lost 2 lbs since surgery. I am thankful that I am not hungry at all and drinking Water is easy for me. Which multi-vitamins are you taking? What are you having on your clear liquid diet? Anyone drinking Protein Shakes?

I'm 3 days post op. I do feel hungry however I drink my liquid Isopure Protein. I have lots of flavors. As far as Vitamins I take a chewable Multivitamin and a dissolvable B12

I thought I would be hungry but I'm not. I've cooked for my boys and watched my husband eat but it hasn't bothered me at all. Not hungry and I'm happy! I wasn't sure if I could drink Protein Shakes during this time or only Clear Liquids. Do they go down well?

The Protein Drink I'm drinking is clear. The taste is not bad at all. I like the different flavors

I'm 4 days post op. I'm drinking (sipping) at least 4 oz of Water an hour. I have Protein Shake drinks from the local grocery called 100 calorie muscle milk & another that is 100 calorie advantEdge. Each has at least 15 grams of Protein & I drink 4 a day. It hurts when things hit my stomach but it's just still super sore & swollen from the surgery. For Vitamins I found some at the local drug store that were gummies for the multi and a chocolate soft chew for calcium/D/K, & a B liquid that's absorbed under the tongue (sublingual). My doc told me not to step on the scale until a week post op. He said the swelling & extra fluids my body would take on due to the trama of the surgery would discourage me. So I got on the scale 2 days after surgery & I had gained a pound. I'm staying off till Wednesday.

I've never seen those clear Protein shakes...I have to look those up online. I picked up One a Day Women's gummies, and I picked up B-12 sublingual drops. What am I missing?

Unless your doctor said something else I'd say you're covered.

I'm using chewy Vitamins from Bariatric Advantage. On their site you can customize what you need according to which operation you're having.

They are great and 40 g of Protein. I drink two a day and get my 80g of protein

It took me a full week to get back to my day of surgery weight due to all the excess fluids.
