@@Deanah, very glad to hear from you! I'm worried about staying hydrated after surgery, it sounds like its a lot harder to do than thought!! Are you able to drink any Protein Drinks?

[Deanah 50]

Yes, I'm able to drink the Protein drinks although I don't like them. Drinking Water, too. I'm not taking in as much as recommended, but coming as close as I can. I'm definitely not dehydrated. I advanced from my week 1 Clear Liquids diet to my week 2 full liquids (4 days early) because I couldn't stand it anymore. I plan to confess to my surgeon at my follow up appointment. I'm able to slowly eat 1/3 cup of Trader Joe's puréed black bean Soup. My mouth and brain are much happier now. No real hunger to speak of. Just couldn't take the boredom.

Things are looking good, no concerns from the doc. I was transitioned to full liquids so tried cottage cheese mashed and chewed about a teaspoon and was in pain the rest of the evening. I'm feeling hungry, head hunger I'm sure but not getting Protein and Water in yet makes me wonder if it's just head hunger. I have a constant fullness, I just wonder if this will ever go away

I'm doing really well no complaints. Doctor I have makes his patients to a blood thinner injection for ten days after surgery for pulmonary embolism thats the worst part right now. I realized how much I ate because of boredom before surgery.

My dr had me do injections post sleeve and I also have to do them post RNY. I did heparin the first time. This time it's lovenox.
