mdover 3 Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) I had my surgery done this past Monday and was released from the hospital just yesterday. Recovery was delayed in the hospital because of my Dopa Responsive Dystonia and had some Dystonic Storms that freaked everyone out, but finally got home! I am very eager to continue this new journey I am on. Have to say, I know this is new for me, but cannot for the life of me figure out how I can stay hydrated . Looking forward to exploring this app Mellissa ~ Edited May 21, 2016 by mdover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ridgerunner 115 Posted May 21, 2016 I am still pre-op so I have squat for experience but I have read a lot of comments and that is an issue that comes up again and again. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but the consensus seems to be that you shouldn't sweat it too much. Water is the most important thing and as long as you are trying for protien goals it will happen given time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ridgerunner 115 Posted May 21, 2016 I am not scheduled yet kholiette. I have completed all of my preliminary requirements and could have WLS tomorrow if I wanted but I am self pay so I won't have the money ready until early July. Still am undecided on bypass or sleeve. The decision is making my head spin. Are you doing any better today? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
