I have no pain, no nausea, but my biggest concern is that I am not drinking enough Fluid. I drank 20 fl oz today. Is that a good start or should I be drinking more. My fear is dehydrating

I was the same way, but I love good crunchy ice. I have been going to Sonic and getting a small cup of ice. Due to the small pieces it is easier for me to get my fluids in:)). Keep trying, you can do it!!

Monday,Oct.26, 2015 was the day of my surgery too!

The doctor told me to work towards getting 64 oz. of Water daily. I downloaded the Bariatric Timer app. to my phone remind to eat and drink. It has been helpful.

Mine was Oct. 26. Remember your Protein Drinks as well. They help keep you hydrated. Tonight I'm having Unjury chicken Soup and it is fabulous. Eight ounces of Fluid plus Protein. Didn't think I could stand another sweet Protein Drink. Heard so many people rave about the soup so I finally tried it. I'm so glad I did!

It is available on Amazon. You might find it at your hospital pharmacy-- hospital where you had/have your surgery.

I purchased it at a local ( non- chain) pharmacy. I was able to save shipping/handling charges.

I was an Oct 1st surgery and Water has been my biggest struggle. I'm fine during the week at my desk... on weekends is where I struggle. Running the kids around to and fro, I often forget to bring a bottle of Water with me. When I don't have enough water, I get constipated, which is a bad and painful thing.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
