3 days out having a tough time



Recommended Posts

So I'm 3 days out, just sipping Water , g2, sugar free popcicles , a bite of sf Jello , but that's it! I tried a few bites of Greek yogurt and that wasn't happening! My surgeon said just work on staying hydrated! Anyone have any words of wisdom? Is this normal ? Is this because I'm just 3 days out???

I had trouble getting all of my fluids in as well. I'm told that's normal. sugar free popsicles help with fluids. Have you tried them?c

It will get better for you. I had a hard time as well. I just refilling my hospital mug and sipped sipped sipped. As far as the Protein Drinks, it was harder because they are thicker. But the nausea I had made it very difficult to tolerate the shakes.< /p>

I am 11 days out and I ended up having to go to the ER twice because of dehydration. I was focusing on the Protein and not counting how much liquid I was taking in. I felt HORRIBLE! If you are not getting enough liquids in, see your surgeon. They are ok giving you IV liquids as often as you need them. Now that I am focusing more on trying to get 640z of liquid in as opposed to 60 grams of Protein, I feel much, much better. I am getting like 50 grams in and about 55-60 ounces of liquid in a day now. So my advice to you is focus on tracking your liquid and getting that in, even if you don't make your protein limit for the day. It will get easier to get those things down. And if you are having a hard time with thick Protein drinks, try making them with plain Water and adding a little more Water to thin it out. Helps to get it down and adds to your liquid intake. Good luck. Trust me, my first week was brutal. Now I am feeling much better.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
