Two days post op

[Leather'nLace 187]

Hello everyone. This is my first post. I just had my sleeve surgery 2 days ago. I weighed 211 on the day of surgery, after losing 9 pounds from the pre-op diet. My BMI is 37.

I'm in a lot of pain...more than I was expecting, but I'm managing. My biggest hurdle is getting enough fluids. I'm dehydrated, so I'm really trying to focus on that right now.

Thank you for having me and I look forward to reading and sharing more.

Sip constantly. Try different temps- you may tolerate one more than the other. Try infused Water, Powerade zero, Vitamin Water zero, tea (flavored/decaf), sugar free popsicles, broth, crystal light. Good luck!

@ Someone talked about crushed ice with some crystal light like a slushie or snow cone - it sounds good.

Patience patience! Please keep the

liquids going as dehydration is awful!!!! Trust us here, this will be a distant memory, but try to relax and just take care of yourselves. One day at a time.

Thank you all. My doc wants me to wait until Saturday before having any chilled beverages. She wants things either warm or room temperature. I can't wait until I can drink cold Crystal Light!
