Donegirl4life 39 Posted March 15, 2016 This is my seventh post op day. I'm feeling pretty good - not much pain at all. However, the one thing that IS a pain is trying to get all the liquids in! The nurse from the hospital called to check up on me and said if I get at least one 20-ounce bottle of the Isopure in a day that's pretty good. Anyone else having issues getting their fluids? BTW - congrats to those that just had their surgery. I knew it would go well! 1st day post op. Miserable from two tablespoons of veggie broth, drinking since 645 this morning. But I will keep that in mind. I literally have to take ten every hour to get it down. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App The very first sip I took from the little cup was a bit more than I should have tried. I threw it up. I know what I did wrong and it hasn't happened again! just pace yourself. By the time I finished ONE item on my Breakfast tray - the lunch tray arrived! Hang in there girl!

Purplej, Long Island Will do. I do not like being this full! No nausea, just a feeling of being overfed. I will take it real slow.

Donegirl4life 39 Posted March 15, 2016 How are you managing to hey fluids in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purplej 20 Posted March 15, 2016 How are you managing to hey fluids in?I sip pretty much all day. I'm still working on my first 1/2 of the bottle of Isopure. I added some Water to it because it seemed too sweet (I got the Grape Frost flavor). I'm doing what I can. See doc tomorrow and maybe he'll start me back on shakes. (I miss chocolate!)

My mistake was I tried to gulp the two tablespoons of veggie broth, instead of sipping slowly. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purplej 20 Posted March 16, 2016 Your new stomach will remind you to slow down. You'll feel it. I've been telling friends that my stomach is like a funnel with a very small opening at the bottom. If you put too much in a funnel too fast it just sits there. Same thing. If you can't get the 2 bottles in, do the best you can. Good luck all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donegirl4life 39 Posted March 16, 2016 I'm home. I was discharged last night after keeping down liquids and being able to walk laps around the nurses station. The gas x definitely helps with gas. I'm alternating between rest, brearhing exercuses, and walking around the apartment. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
